Description

The most personal film by the underworld poet Jean-Pierre Melville, who had participated in the French Resistance himself, this tragic masterpiece, based on a novel by Joseph Kessel, recounts the struggles and sacrifices of those who fought in the Resistance. Lino Ventura, Paul Meurisse, Jean-Pierre Cassel, and the incomparable Simone Signoret star as intrepid underground fighters who must grapple with their conception of honor in their battle against Hitler’s regime. Long underappreciated in France and unseen in the United States, the atmospheric and gripping thriller Army of Shadows is now widely recognized as the summit of Melville’s career, channeling the exquisite minimalism of his gangster films to create an unsparing tale of defiance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • High-definition digital restoration, supervised by director of photography Pierre Lhomme, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack • Alternate 2.0 surround soundtrack, presented in DTS-HD Master Audio • Audio commentary from 2006 featuring film scholar Ginette Vincendeau • Interviews from 2007 with Lhomme and editor Françoise Bonnot • On-set footage and excerpts from archival interviews with director Jean-Pierre Melville, cast members, author Joseph Kessel, and real-life Resistance fighters • Jean-Pierre Melville et “L’armée des ombres” (2005), a short program on the director and his film • Le journal de la Résistance (1944), a rare short documentary shot on the front lines during the final days of the German occupation of France • Restoration demonstration by Lhomme • Trailers • PLUS: An essay by critic Amy Taubin, along with a piece by historian Robert O. Paxton and excerpts from Rui Nogueira’s Melville on Melville

Jacques Becker’s (Le Trout) Touches Pas Au Grimsby occupies a significant part in French cinema history; it exerted a huge influence on subsequent directors such as Jean-Pierre Melville (Le Doulas), Henri Vermeil (The Sicilian Clan) and Claude Sautee (Classed Toups Risqué). Max (Jean Gabon, Port of Shadows) is an aging gangster who manages to pull off his final heist, a spectacular gold bullion robbery at Olly airport. All is well until Max’s former girlfriend Joys (Jeanne Moreau, Viva Maria! ) tips off a rival gangster, Angelo (Lion Ventura, Rizzio Sur La Chou). Angelo kidnaps Max’s partner and best friend and threatens to kill him unless Max hands over the loot from his robbery. Touches Pas Au Grimsby was the birth the French policer, a European transposition of the fantastic American gangster films and film noirs of the 1940s. Based on a book by Albert Simon in (Cold Sweat) and beautifully shot in striking black-and-white by Pierre Montage (Hi-Jack Highway). Special Features: -Audio Commentary by Film Critic Nick Pinkerton -Interview with filmmaker Jean Becker -Interview with actress Jeanne Moreau -Interview with Professor/Film Critic Guenette Vincentia -Theatrical Trailer
