Film: "The Last Metro" (1980).
Not one of François Truffaut's finest but it still deals assuredly and
sensitively with the effects of the Second World War on a small Parisian
theatre. Catherine Deneuve plays the wife of the Jewish theatre director
hiding from the Nazis, whose fragile existence is then threatened by a lying
and womanising outsider, Gérard Depaerdieu, who joins the cast. Truffaut
captures the claustrophobia engendered by the air of opportunism, cowardice
and fear.
