For a movie about a sad and terrible time, there is a lot of strength, here, and I found Truffault, for some bizarre reason, easy to understand. Gérard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve star as members of a French theater company living under the German occupation during World War II in François Truffauts gripping, humanist character study. Against all oddsâa Jewish theater manager in hiding; a leading man whoâs in the Resistance; increasingly restrictive Nazi oversightâthe troupe believes the show must go on. Gerard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve play stage actors who meet during the turmoil of World War II's Nazi occupation of France. During this 9-and-a-half minute interview the two discuss his intended look for the film. Iâm not sure if I could really detect a real difference between this track and the Dolby Digital track found on the DVD, but both are of excellent quality. You'll also find in-depth discussions on world cinema. True story. Criterion carries all of the supplements from the 2-disc DVD and places them on this single-disc Blu-ray release, presenting them in 1080p. The next interview, again from 1980, runs 6-and-a-half minutes from a program called Passez donc me voir and features Truffaut and actor Jean Poiret, talking about the film and their memories of the occupation. This scene from THE LAST METRO, in which Valentin (René Dupré) visits with Marion (Catherine Deneuve), was removed by François Truffaut just before the film opened because he feared the movie would be too long. Today marks the birthday of French New Wave pioneer François Truffaut. Truffaut uses that fictional theater and interweaves that with real lives so seamlessly that it sometimes blows your mind away. A well played out drama with an excellent supporting cast but I wont be giving away any plot stealers or the nice twist in the tale. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 23, 2018, Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 1, 2016, Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2012, A very well made film and thoroughly enjoyable to watch.The main stars work. One of the best films about occupied France. In the course of his work with such titans of cinema as Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Alain Resnais, Mike Nichols, and Oliver Stone, Delerue, a native of Roubaix, France, created some of the most evocative film music of all time. Gérard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve star as members of a French theater company living under the German occupation during World War II in François Truffaut s gripping, humanist character study. French with subtitles. Jean Poiret who plays Deneuve's husband does as fine a job as Deneuve & Depardieu & Francois Truffaut's direction is at its best.

I rather liked this interview and I was quite pleased that Criterion went to the trouble to put this together. Theater is a big part in the lives of the central characters and hence a key ingredient of this film as well. A terrific achievement, to say the least.

Voices and music are quite strong and a bit of range is present. Can be slow, but it's very well acted and it can't get better than having Catherine Deneuve and Gerard Depardieu in one film. This piece is decent. As usual with Criterionâs Blu-ray releases they offer a lossless French mono track. Love these older, interesting and odd European cinematic experiences, subtitles and all!

This scene from THE LAST METRO, in which Valentin (René Dupré) visits with Marion (Catherine Deneuve), was removed by François Truffaut just before the film opened because he feared the movie would be too long. One of these items ships sooner than the other. I can't recommend this film highly enough. Equal parts romance, historical tragedy, and even comedy, The Last Metro (Le dernier metro) is Truffaut’s ultimate tribute to art overcoming adversity.

Again, like the DVD, skin tones look to have a yellow tone to them (heavy at times) but I suspect this was the intended warm look to the film. It sounds as though Truffaut had something closer to a black-and-white film in mind, but Almendros went with a red monochrome look, having a majority of the sets painted warm yellows and reds. I realize that with scholarly tracks I usually only enjoy them if Iâve felt Iâve actually learned something rather intriguing, found something in the film I wouldnât have otherwise noticed, gained a new appreciation for it, or it convinced me that a film I used to loathe was actually something special.

Performing The Last Metro presents interviews with some of the actors that play smaller roles in the film, including Andrea Ferreol, Sabine Haudepin, Paulette Dubost, and Alain Tasma (who was actually an assistant director but was cast in the film for âeconomic reasonsâ.) (Currently we are unable to provide screen captures for Blu-ray releases, though plan to in the near future. After doing some scoring for television and short films (including Agnès Varda’s early short L’opéra mouffe, which is available on Criterion’s edition of Cléo from 5 to 7), Delerue was approached by Resnais and Truffaut to write the themes to Hiroshima mon amour and Shoot the Piano Player, two works at the forefront of the French New Wave movement. Not a single disappointment. Please try again. Two of the greatest French actors meet in somewhat awkward love triangle/tryst during highly secretive days of the second world war.
