With the power of silence, images and narration Melvilles describes the complicated relationship between occupant and occupied.

Anton Bitel 26 Jan 2012

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.

Sean Axmaker 20 Jun 2015

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.

Matt C 28 Dec 2008

Action packed WWII thriller with such rollercoaster sequences like smoking pipe, warming at the fireplace and playing Bach with the home organ.

George B 25 Nov 2008

A demonstration of Melville's personal hopeless romanticism. This belongs to one of the great debuts from a masterful filmmaker that never needed to be recognized by awards.
