Members of a French theater company live under the German occupation during World War II in François 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. In French with English subtitles. The Criterion Collection.
