What the Critics Say About ARMY OF SHADOWS

This unflinching epic of the French Resistance, starring Lino Ventura and Simone Signoret, was made in 1969 but never released in the United States. Seen in a newly restored print, it's a revelation—a lost classic uncovered. Infused with the bleak romanticism of Melville's gangster movies ("Le Samouraï," "Bob le Flambeur"), and deepened by his own experiences in the Resistance, this hard-bitten tribute to freedom fighters makes most current movies look flabby and undisciplined. Don't miss it.
