Movie Reviews of The Last Metro (Le Dernier m?tro) [NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - Australia]

Movie Review: late period Truffaut is better than any period Godard
Summary: 3 Stars

Any movie released by Criterion is worth owning: even if you're not familiar with the film or it's not a favorite, they're sure to include so many valuable extras that you'll get your money's worth and appreciate the film's significance as time passes on. When it comes to Truffaut vs. Godard, I'm definitely in the Truffaut camp. Long after Godard had given up delivering anything but the most self-absorbed, tiresome movies, Truffaut was celebrating the power of telling stories with the late period effort The Last Metro ($39.95 for regular OR BluRay; Criterion), which tells of a French theater troupe trying to mount a show while France is occupied by the Nazis. Catherine Deneuve stars with Gerard Depardieu. I haven't seen the BluRay but the regular DVD looks marvelous and comes with extras like two audio commentaries (one with Depardieu), old TV interviews, new video interviews with cast and crew, an interview with cinematographer Nestor Almendros and a short film made in 1958 by Truffaut and Godard before Godard became insufferable.

Summary of The Last Metro (Le Dernier m?tro) [NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - Australia]

Fran?ois Truffaut again tackles the elusive nature of creativity and the elusive creation in this thoughtful, sumptuous, 1980 film. Nominated for the Best Foreign Language film Oscar, and a winner of various C?sars, The Last Metro is a tale of the theater 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 out in the basement of the theater. The one hope to save the Montmarte is a new play starring the dashing Bernard Granger (G?rard 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. --Keith Simanton
