L´Armée du crime

Une représentation très originale de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale dans la France occupée. Après avoir lu une interview du réalisateur, j’ai compris que je ne pouvais pas laisser passer ce film. Son travail sur l’intemporalité et la narration puissante se ressent dans chaque prise. Simon Abkarian incarne le chef des résistants, poète mû par sa propre responsabilité et, en partie, par la vengeance, Virginie Ledoyen joue son épouse dévouée, loyale et aimante et sous les traits de Jean-Pierre Darroussin, c’est un inspecteur qui en a ras la casquette. Tous trois forment une superbe équipe et entraînent joliment L’Armée du crime. On devrait passer ce genre de films au cours d’histoire à l’école primaire et secondaire, pour ne pas oublier.

In the Czech Republic, it has recently become popular to criticize one's own nation in terms of how they behaved towards people during World War II. And behold. Even France, which has always been quite nationalistic, has started engaging in this self-flagellation. This film shows France from a slightly different perspective, from the side of the Jewish resistance, who tried their fate in Paris, only to pay for it. It is definitely an interesting film with many powerful thoughts. Mostly regarding France's attitude towards Jews during World War II. However, the film was incredibly boring and its length was honestly a huge suffering, which is a shame because such a theme should be seen throughout Europe so that everyone realizes that we are all just people and that the past was incredibly difficult, as everything was interconnected and even a minor mention could lead to the death of a loved one and so on. Shame. I liked the idea in the film, if it were shorter, I would give it a try and wouldn't criticize it here. (02/05/2012)
