Former French Resistance fighter Jean-Pierre Melville slips behind the front lines of World War II for a hard look at the vicious war in the streets of occupied France. As with a Resistance cell, information is parceled out slowly, obliquely—you follow Lino Ventura before you know why. Soon, you’re trapped deep in a world of sudden death, constant fear, and ruthless ends. As brutal, in its quiet way, as Saving Private Ryan or Come and See. -Lee Gardner
