Army of Shadows (1969) (EN subs)
France, the middle of the Second World War. Betrayed by a comrade, Philippe Gerbier (Lino Ventura), the head of a Resistance cell, is captured and transferred to a Nazi prison camp. In Vichy-controlled Marseille, the young traitor Paul Dounat (Alain Libolt) is ambushed by Gerbier's comrades and sentenced to death.
Army of Shadows is an adaptation of Joseph Kessel's novel of the same name. The film goes beyond a black-and-white tale of good versus evil, offering a raw and poignant portrait of the brave men and women who fought against fascism and the sacrifices they made along the way.
