Army of Shadows (L'armée des ombres)
AroView: Jean-Pierre Melville’s heavyweight masterpiece – by turns sombre, exhilarating, and tension-filled – tackles the clandestine rearguard action of the French resistance during Nazi occupation in WWII.
With impeccable Gallic strength, this is a bleaker, more austere evaluation of heroism and sacrifice, guided ceaselessly by the strong, silent presence of Lino Ventura – an unmovable rock amidst the most precarious of wartime scenarios.
