Veteran French director Bertrand Tavernier made this meticulous period film that shines a light on life during the German occupied France of WW II based on true stories. Unlike most films of the period, Tavernier makes sure to bring an authenticity to the story and its characters. He specially pays homage to the people of the film industry who walked the fine line between collaboration and resistance. The story of two artists, one who collaborates with the Germans while active with the resistance, the other who resists to be involved directly. There's all kind of characters who try to survive the forces of evil. Tavernier with his cast and crew made a rich and complex film that provides an accurate look at life during the occupation.
