Two French successes

Posted by Victor Khomenko on May 27, 2021 at 07:52:55:
The first one - Paris by Night - I have seen before, but watched it with great pleasure - a strong hard core police thriller with great cast.

The second one - Un Village Fran�ais - a 6 season TV series, dealing with German occupation during WW2 and the difficult subject of Holocaust in France. While the theme of Holocaust has been present in many movies, here the makers managed to give it new sense of poignancy by eliminating the time limit. That allows them to gradually and relentlessly build it up - from the first and insignificant signs all the way to... I presume... as we have not finished this long journey yet. One of the darkest spots on French history.

Many will find that uncomfortable. The gradual descent into murderous reality is paralleled by another difficult subject - the communist Resistance. It is uncommon to see the communists shown for what they truly are - the bloodthirsty murderers, in mad pursuit of their own goals... and here the film accomplishes this task brilliantly.

Both highly recommended, and both available on Amazon Prime.
