Army of Shadows

A few folks from around here made it out to see Army of Shadows at the Edina Cinema last night–this being Jean-Pierre Melville’s rarely seen 1969 film about the French resistance during WWII, both inspired by Melville’s own wartime experiences and the book Belle de Jour by Joseph Kessel. Anthony Lane, the notoriously cranky but utterly entertaining film critic for the New Yorker, even gave it a rave. But don’t take my word for it… I expect Peter Schilling will chime in on this one shortly. But in the meantime, know that the run of this must-see flick ends tomorrow! You won’t get a lot of other chances to see this film.
