Army of Shadows

One of the leaders of the resistance movement, Jebier, escaped from the international concentration camp by killing the German guards. Soon, Gepier went to England to receive the honor of General Charles de Gaulle, but after learning that Felix, the interim leader who replaced him, was arrested, he parachuted back to the country overnight to rescue him. After several twists and turns, they have never been able to rescue their companions. Felix and his best friend Francois committed suicide in prison. Jebier was later arrested, and Mathilde orchestrated his rescue. While Jepier was recovering from her wounds, Mathilde was arrested, and her daughter was used as a hostage by the enemy to force her to confess to her companions, but in the end she died under the guns of her companions.
The characters in this film, unlike the heroes of the romantic works, fight for the good of the collective and the nation, but succumb to emotional weakness and personal motives. The film has a deep style and dignified color, which realistically restores the hard and cruel fighting life of the French underground guerrillas during World War II. It creates a few heroic characters in a low-key and simple documentary style, and puts them in a helpless and crisis-ridden situation. Difficulties are clearly manifested. The film also uses a variety of artistic methods to vividly and forcefully express the author's reflection on the resistance movement and its era. It was officially released in mainland my country, and the performances of the male and female protagonists were quite eye-catching.

    (5 stars in 20160316) Photographer Pierre Lhomme was still young at the time and had not taken important works. After "Shadow Army", he took Bresson's "Four Nights of a Dreamer", Erstache's "Four Nights" The Mother and the Whore, Avery's Maurice's Lover, Nutan's Rodin's Lover, etc. He said that after working with Mayville, he felt that he had truly become a photographer. Another older than him, Walter Wottitz, who was in charge of planes, ships and special effects photography, later filmed Mayville's "The Great Dawn". Although the tone design is consistent with the film, the lens scheduling is much inferior. . Demarsan's composition in this film and "Red Circle" is admirable. The film's structure is loose, and while each paragraph is interesting, the ideas that run through it are less perceptible, and of course, the title makes a good statement. The old man of "Silence of the Sea" also participated.

    Abandoned heroism and injected more reflection, the performance is quite tense, but it looks a bit rigid, four and a half stars

Army of Shadows quotes

  • Philippe Gerbier: See you later, Comrade.

    Legrain: ...You're a communist?

    Philippe Gerbier: No. But I can still have comrades.

  • Claude Ullmann dit 'Le Masque': Still thinking about the others?

    [referring to the resistance fighters, who, like him, were targets in the German shooting gallery]

    Philippe Gerbier: No, I was thinking of the officer who was sure I'd run too. Like a scared rabbit...
