Once we have the ability to add captures for Blu-ray releases this review will be updated.). One of these items ships sooner than the other. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. In this excerpt from a 1980 episode of the French television program “Passez donc me voir,” director François Truffaut and actor Jean Poiret discuss their work on THE LAST METRO and their memories of the occupation. 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. Catherine Deneuve, wife of the director and lead lady, is gorgeous as she balances the needs of her cranky Jewish husband in hiding (Heinz Bennent; he's continuing to direct by listening in to rehearsals through the pipes) and those of her handsome leading man (Gerard Depardieu), whose only way of coming on seems to be to grasp a pretty woman by the hand, gaze into it and murmur, "I seem to see two women here." As usual with Criterion’s Blu-ray releases they offer a lossless French mono track. The commentaries do have some good material but as a whole could have been more and the deleted scene is missing subtitles. Truffaut follows in the tradition of Jean-Pierre Melville by adapting a popular genre as a serious allegory for the darkest period in French history: the Nazi Occupation. Colours are exactly the same, with heavy use of reds, all coming off bright and bold. The image is presented in 1080p. It presents Almendros quickly going over his career in France (having moved there from Cuba after seeing The 400 Blows) having worked with Eric Rohmer and then François Truffaut. 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.

Love these older, interesting and odd European cinematic experiences, subtitles and all! It is one of the best foreign films I've ever seen. Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2019. I've been looking for this movie for almost a decade and finally got to watch it. This weekend, Winston-Salem’s a/perture cinema screens the greatest popular and critical success of François Truffaut’s late career. The DVD’s transfer was still a stunner, but the Blu-ray improves on a few of the DVD’s shortcomings, presenting the film almost perfectly. I loved this film when I first saw it almost 35 years ago. Gérard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve star as members of a French theater company living under the German occupation during World War II in François Truffaut’s gripping, humanist character study. The movie is very artistic and the plot beautifully evolved. It’s not bad and is thankfully not dull, but I don’t feel I took all that much from it. The second audio commentary presents actor Gerard Depardieu and historian Jean-Pierre Azema (and Truffaut biographer Serge Toubiana.) The film, which is of course rather playful, follows a couple trying to escape a flooded France. The track is presented in French with English subtitles. The supplements then close with a theatrical trailer. Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2017. Classics and discoveries from around the world, thematically programmed with special features, on a streaming service brought to you by the Criterion Collection. It was later reinserted in a 1982 video release. He talks about filming The Wild Child in black and white (something Almendros wasn’t fond of) and then moving on to colour films such as Two English Girls and The Green Room. The Last Metro (Criterion Collection), DVD, Widescreen, Subtitled, Drama, Foreign-French, 715515042215 I actually enjoyed the film so the last two don’t really count, but I can’t say the track exposed anything new. He came to Hollywood in the eighties and wrote music for Platoon, Beaches, and Steel Magnolias, among others. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness. Get info about new releases, essays and interviews on the Current, Top 10 lists, and sales. Like with the DVD (which has all of the same features) I wasn’t too blown away by the supplements found on here, with the Almendros interview and the short film being the best of the bunch. In the course of his work with such titans of cinema as Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Alain Resnais, Mike Nichols, and Oliver Stone, Delerue, a native of Roubaix, France, created some of the most evocative film music of all time. Performing The Last Metro presents interviews with some of the actors that play smaller roles in the film, including Andrea Ferreol, Sabine Haudepin, Paulette Dubost, and Alain Tasma (who was actually an assistant director but was cast in the film for “economic reasons”.) Depardieu only chimes in about certain sequences in the film, working with Truffaut, and some of the other performers. It was later reinserted in a 1982 video release. This item: The Last Metro (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] by Catherine Deneuve Blu-ray $27.99 Only 1 left in stock (more on the way). There’s nothing really illuminating here but the four fondly recall actually being cast for the film and the working with Truffaut. Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is a service we offer sellers that lets them store their products in Amazon's fulfillment centers, and we directly pack, ship, and provide customer service for these products. I’m a history buff so I did enjoy some of the content, but it is weak, filled with dead spots, and should have had more Depardieu (his opening, where he talks about Truffaut’s films being too “bourgeois” and that The 400 Blows was overblown, made me hope for more from him.). Two of the greatest French actors meet in somewhat awkward love triangle/tryst during highly secretive days of the second world war. At night after each performance she goes down to bring him food & check on him. This French-language commentary with actor Gérard Depardieu and historian Jean-Pierre Azema is moderated by Truffaut biographer Serge Toubiana. Just as Melville used the gangster film to examine notions of legality, legitimacy, authority and criminality in a period when the Resistance were outlaws and the police were rounding up Jews for the death camps, so Truffaut takes the beloved putting-on-a-show warhorse, and uses it as a metaphor for the conditions of life in Occupied France: the need to act, adapt and continually discard roles. What Truffaut is most interested in, as in all his films, is the effect this need for constant dissembling has on individual identity and relationships. Tasma has the most humourous comments as he recalls his performance, which he says was so bad that not only did Truffaut cut out some of his scenes, he also cut out some of his scenes before they were actually filmed. Visualizing The Last Metro presents the two assistants to director of photography Nestor Almendros, Florent Bazin and Tessa Racine. Moving on from the commentaries to the supplements section of this release we first come across a lone deleted scene running about 5-minutes. The DVD presented a fair amount of detail and overall is sharp, but the Blu-ray’s image trumps it, no question (though this shouldn’t be a surprise.) They also share some funny anecdotes about Almendros’ absent-minded nature. Please try again. Starring Gérard Depardieu, Catherine Deneuve, Jean Poiret. Gérard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve star as members of a French theater company living under the German occupation during World War II in François Truffaut’s gripping, humanist character study. Azema and Toubiana actually take up most of the track, and Depardieu only rings in once in a while, mainly during the last half of the track. This is by far one of my favorite films. Delerue’s stature grew, thanks to scores for such films as The Two of Us and King of Hearts, and eventually he would not only win an Oscar (for 1979’s A Little Romance) and three Césars in a row (for Get Out Your Handkerchiefs, Love on the Run, and The Last Metro) but also be named a Commander of Arts and Letters, one of France’s highest cultural honors. You'll also find in-depth discussions on world cinema. The notes state that Truffaut removed the scene just before the film was released since he felt the film was too long. The author recalls his encounters and correspondence with the filmmaker. Recorded in 2008, this commentary features film scholar Annette Insdorf (“François Truffaut: Indelible Shadows: Film and the Holocaust”). Love these older, interesting and odd European cinematic experiences, subtitles and all! Gerard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve play stage actors who meet during the turmoil of World War II's Nazi occupation of France. It is all about the acting...a great movie: My rating is 10 out of 10. Any fan of French cinema would be delighted with this film featuring (in my opinion) Deneuve at her most glamourous and sexy, so much more so than the naive Belle de Jour days.

A friend of mine who does not speak french had no problem following the dialogue with the subtitles. Gérard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve star as members of a French theater company living under the German occupation during World War II in François Truffaut’s gripping, humanist character study. I didn’t notice anything in the way of artifacts, the opening credits looking much better, and some of the strong reds, which presented some problems on the DVD (looking blocky around the edges) are much smoother and cleaner here. Gereard Depardieu plays the lead opposite Deneuve in the play & the sexual tension that grows between him & Deneuve, coupled with the growing fear her husband will be discovered & hauled off to a work camp keep you on the edge of your seat the entire show.
