Female Agents - In Cinemas June 27th

www.femaleagents.co.uk

A member of the French Resistance, Louise (Sophie Marceau) flees to London after her husband's summary execution. She is recruited by the Special Operations Executive (SOE), an intelligence and sabotage service overseen by Churchill himself.

She is immediately assigned to an urgent mission: the rescue of a British agent who has fallen into German hands while preparing for D-Day on the Normandy beaches. The man hasn't talked yet, but there is no time to lose. Louise must first put together an all-female commando unit. She will stop at nothing to get exactly the right women for the mission's special requirements, even if it means lying, blackmailing or securing pardons for serving prisoners.

Suze (Marie Gillain) is a showgirl who excels in the art of seduction.
Gaëlle (Déborah François) is a chemist and explosives expert.
And Jeanne (Julie Depardieu) is a prostitute who has already killed in cold blood.
Parachuted into Normandy, they are joined by Maria (Maya Sansa), a Jewish Italian radio operator and the final member of the team.

The mission begins well but there are soon complications. Their SOE bosses give the women a new, almost suicidal objective: they must move on to Paris to eliminate Colonel Heindrich (Moritz Bleibtreu), the head of Nazi counter-intelligence, who has gleaned too much information about the Landings.

They are five ordinary women, destined to become heroines.

Those women had more balls than some men to commit war in the shadows against the likes of the SS and the SD. Had they been captured,instant death would have been pleasurable compared to being deported to Natzweiler and the like. There, they would have most likely become Nacht und Nebel. Night and fog. They simply would cease to exist. Tortured and then killed, or experimented on then killed. The SOE even more often than the OSS sent women in behind enemy lines. Outstanding!

fuck the british.British won the war because of enormous man power they got from their colonies whereas germans fought most of the battles by themselves.These british are nothing but dogs who likes to run behind wealth of other countries

English was cruel and coward!!

[EasyCompanyAirborne]

@nevermore300 Read fact. The English won. Why? As they are the most clinical in warfare. The Germans hold back due to rules. The English have no rules, no morals. That's what makes them great.

@EasyCompanyAirborne the english were more ruthless than the germans??? what ARE YOU smoking ?

I enjoyed this film a great deal and found it very similar in high quality to MAX MANUS and BLACK BOOK, which are other WW2 films on a similar theme.

Most disappointing war film of recent years has been RED BARON. I was so looking forward to that (being an avid aviation fan), but it was mediocre and the story was mostly falsified. His final flight was not even shown !

Get the DVD of 1966's THE BLUE MAX starring George Peppard instead, as it's THE BEST aviation war film ever made in my opinion.

The film is largely true, but one part is a bit strange. The brother commited suicide in the film just beofre D-Day. In real life, he died in 1974. Remarkable recovery!
