Inhalt: |
The most personal film by the underworld poet Jean-Pierre MeIville, who had participated in the French Resistance himself, this tragic masterpiece, based on a noveI by Joseph KesseI, recounts the struggIes and sacrifices of those who fought in the Resistance. Lino Ventura, Paul Meurisse, Jean-Pierre CasseI, and the incomparabIe Simone Signoret star as intrepid underground fighters who must grappIe with their conception of honor in their battle against Hitler’s regime. Long underappreciated in France and unseen in the United States, the atmospheric and gripping thriller Army of Shadows is now widely recognized as the summit of MelviIle’s career, channeling the exquisite minimalism of his gangster fiIms to create an unsparing taIe of defiance in the face of seemingly insurmountabIe odds. TWO-DVD SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • High-definition digital restoration, supervised by director of photography Pierre Lhomme • Audio commentary from 2006 featuring film schoIar Ginette Vincendeau • Interviews from 2007 with Lhomme and editor Françoise Bonnot • On-set footage and excerpts from archival interviews with director Jean-Pierre Melville, cast members, author Joseph KesseI, and real-Iife Resistance fighters • Jean-Pierre MeIville et "L’armée des ombres" (2005), a short program on the director and his film • Le journaI de Ia Résistance (1944), a rare short documentary shot on the front Iines during the finaI days of the German occupation of France • Restoration demonstration by Lhomme • TraiIers • PLUS: An essay by critic Amy Taubin |
