Army of Shadows

“Also one of the great, great, great movies of all time: Jean-Pierre Melville, Army of Shadows. Extraordinary movie about the French Resistance during the Second World War. I was knocked out by it, how it tells the story. It’s just very clear, clean, descriptive. This is beyond a must-watch. And I’m putting it in my bag.”

“Army of Shadows. This is a fantastic film. This is a movie about the French Resistance. And I think oftentimes we think that it was so dashing and romantic, the Resistance. This is a very bleak film, and I think a very honest appraisal of what it was like to be in a resistance movement in that time. But it is a beautiful film, and there are great character names. Le bison. Le masque.”
