Nominated for the Best Foreign Language film Oscar, and a winner of various Césars,\nThe Last Metro is set in occupied France during World War II. Marion Steiner (Catherine Deneuve) manages the Theatre Montmarte in the stead of her Jewish husband, director Lucas Steiner (Heinz Bennent). He has purportedly fled France but is really hiding in the basement of the theatre. The one hope to save the Montmarte is a new play starring the dashing Bernard Granger (Gérard Depardieu). The attraction between Marion and Bernard is palpable, and as usual Truffaut creates tension and drama from even the most casual of occurrences. The theme of the director locked away while his lover and his creation are appropriated by others makes for interesting Truffaut study, but first and foremost this is a well-spun romance.--\nKeith Simanton, Amazon.com\n\n\nFrom the Back Cover\n\n\nWinning an incredible ten French Academy Awards in 1981,\nThe Last Metro is one of Truffaut's most highly acclaimed and popular films. Starring Catherine Deneuve and Gerard Depardieu in magnetic performances, the story is set in Paris, 1942, during the Nazi occupation of France.\n When Lucas Steiner (Heinz Bennent), the Jewish owner of the Montparnasse Theatre, is forced inot hiding, his wife and lead actress Merion (Catherine Deneuve) takes over. Desperate to keep both the troupe and Lucas alive she stages a new play, which must be a success to continue. She hires the womanising actor Bernard Granger (Gerard Depardieu) for the lead in their next production. Just as the actors begin their rehearsals, an anti-semitic journalist ensconces himself in the theatre, creating an atmospher of fear and insecurity. Will he discover Lucas's hideaway and the political affiliations of the group's lead actor?\n Truffaut delivers a captivating study of artists (the actors) struggling against the odds (the Nazis) and a compelling insight into the atmosphere of wartime Paris and the theatre, set against a backdrop of exquisite period detail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42809836503258,"sku":"S88726717","price":8.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7339\/7443\/products\/51NNMKZMB2L._AC_US1500.jpg?v=1654324807","url":"https:\/\/atticdiscoveryshop.co.uk\/products\/the-last-metro-dvd-1981-region-2-rare-tartan-france-uk-release-very-good","provider":"Attic Discovery Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
