Film Club Members are invited to an exclusive screening of Army of Shadows, Jean-Pierre Melville’s gripping depiction of the French Resistance during World War II, presented in a new 4K restoration!
The film follows Philippe Gerbier (Lino Ventura), a stoic resistance leader, as he navigates the perilous world of espionage and betrayal while fighting against Nazi occupation. Alongside a dedicated group of comrades, including the fearless Mathilde (Simone Signoret) and the resourceful Jean-François (Jean-Pierre Cassel), Gerbier undertakes covert operations, rescues, and assassinations, all while facing the constant threat of capture and execution.
With its understated realism, haunting atmosphere, and moral complexities, Army of Shadows captures the quiet heroism and harrowing sacrifices of those who resisted tyranny.
