The Last Metro

Le dernier métro

Gerard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve star as members of a French theater company living under the German occupation during World War II in Francois Truffaut's gripping, humanist character study.

Against all odds--a Jewish theater manager in hiding; a leading man who's in the Resistance; increasingly restrictive Nazi oversight--the troupe believes the show must go on. Equal parts romance, historical tragedy, and even comedy, THE LAST METRO (Le dernier metro) is Truffaut's ultimate tribute to art overcoming adversity.

Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 1981 Academy Awards and the Golden Globes.
