Jean-Pierre Melville's 1969 French Resistance masterpiece is "The best film of 2006!" (Premiere, New York Times, L.A. Weekly, Sight and Sound, Film Comment).

Jean-Pierre Melville's masterpiece about the French Resistance against the Nazi occupation went unreleased in the United States for thirty-seven years, before its triumphant theatrical debut in 2006. Atmospheric and gripping, Army of Shadows is Melville's most personal film, featuring Lino Ventura, Paul Meurisse, Jean-Pierre Cassel, and the incomparable Simone Signoret as intrepid underground fighters who must grapple with their own brand of honor in their battle against Hitler's regime.

  • SagaraGunso ... go do some research buddy. You are talking a load of crap. Who do you think was getting all the information to the british so they could mount the invasion? Who was smugglinf the downed pilot through France and across the Pirranese mountains into neutral spain? You havent got a clue and you make yourself look stupid making uneducated comments like that.

  • That's partially true. I think the film was more about the non-heroic elements within the resistance. It worked to remove all the romanticized notions about the resistance by drawing from Melville's own experiences of working in the resistance.

    I'm only responding thanks to some racist comments by some french dude

    and napolean was cool

    and people are over exaggerating over everything now a days

    so yeah keep it classy

  • @RayWilliamJohansen so Napoleon was never Emperor? They don't hate the US. they just don't feel like taking racist comments like yours. they're not gonna be bullied by the US and they'll tell them frankly when their policies are a load of shit.

  • @FlyingOverTr0ut Oh, but I hate this trailer. What a bastardized version of "Action! Suspense! Hair-raising sunts!" thing that tries to nudge the movie in the direction of looking like every generic movie trailer for an action movie.

  • One of my favorite movies. Absolutely chilling.

  • @nellux

    yes you are :D

  • Hands down one of the best french films of the 1960's
