Director: Jean-Pierre Melville
Writers: Jean-Pierre Melville, Joseph Kessel (Novel)
Language: French
The film adaptation of Joseph Kessel's novel with the same about his own experiences as a member of French resistance against Nazi rule during world war 2 as well as fictionalized versions of other resistance members. Film follows a group of resistance fighters as they move between safe houses, work with allied militaries, kill informers and attempt to evade capture and subsequent execution.
The great thing about the film is that it provides a bleak unromantic view of the resistance and often the characters are shown as fearful. The film was received badly because of the resistance during the Algerian war and Charles de Gaulle was rather unappreciated during those times.
Rating: 4/5
