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. | |||||
