First film written and directed by influential film maker Jean Pierre Melville which centers on three people. Based on an actual book set in WWII involving a high ranking German officer( Howard Vernon) issued to live with an elderly uncle( Jean-Marie Robain) as he narrates the entire experience as him and his niece (Nicole Stéphane) just when France was being occupied. The high ranking German officer, at first has some misconceptions about the Third Reich's intentions of why they reside in France as viewers already know throughout that his ideals is not the case at all.

Involving story that unfolds almost like a stage play. Strong debut from Melville, which while not as epic in scope as Army of Shadows or stylish as Le Samourai, is still a solid film with meaning.

Unbelievably good. Melville's debut feature tells a personal story of resistance to military occupation. Filled with insight into the strength of the human will, and the will to power, the film is also a testament to the power of the novel on which it was based.

Melville called it an "anti-cinematic" film, and he creates the expressiveness in what remains unspoken, the glances and gestures that take on grand drama in the minimalist presentation.

if the niece's silence gives intimate expression to a whole nation's resistance, Werner too, far from being demonised as a villain, himself becomes a dramatic embodiment of the tensions within occupied France.
