Synopsis

Betrayed by an informant, Philippe Gerbier finds himself trapped in a torturous Nazi prison camp. Although he escapes to rejoin the Resistance in occupied Marseille and exacts his revenge on the informant, Philippe must continue a quiet, seemingly endless battle against the Nazis.

MUBI's take

While Jean-Pierre Melville’s brilliant style of genre cinema may seem modernist, detached and stoic, this masterwork may have you reconsider. The French auteur fought in the Resistance, a personal history which lends this thrilling tale of espionage, escape and betrayal with a deep, melancholy soul.
