Event Description
THE LAST METRO

Dir. François Truffaut (131min, France, 1980)
French with English subtitles
Narrative

Gérard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve star as members of a French theater company living under German occupation during World War II in François Truffaut’s gripping, humanist character study. Against all odds the troupe – a Jewish theater manager in hiding; a leading man who’s in the Resistance; increasingly restrictive Nazi oversight – believes the show must go on. Equal parts romance, historical tragedy, and even comedy, The Last Metro is Truffaut’s ultimate tribute to art overcoming adversity, and would become one of his most popular films, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Film and 10 French César awards, including Best Film, Best Actor and Best Actress.
