François Truffaut's 10 César ® masterpiece
Under the Occupation of Paris, Marion Steiner took over the management of the Théâtre Montmartre, which her German Jewish husband Lucas had abandoned. A collaborator friend must ensure the staging of the new play, and the actor Bernard Granger, in love with Marion, plays the leading role. Hidden in the cellar, Lucas supervises the staging...
A real triumph when it was released in 1980, The Last Metro tells the story of the life of a theater under the Occupation, around which gravitates one of the most legendary couples of French cinema: Catherine Deneuve and Gérard Depardieu. Both serious and light painting of a troubled time, The Last Metro is a wonderful tribute to art and life. (Re)discover François Truffaut's masterpiece in its sublime 2K restoration!

"BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE LAST METRO " DIRECTED BY JÉRÔME WYBON
" The Last Metro will be neither a film about the theater nor a film about the Occupation but a story of "love and adventure". ‒ François Truffaut and Suzanne Schiffman
This unpublished work directed by Jérôme Wybon is a rich and precious testimony on The Last Metro , a renaissance film for François Truffaut. Composed of numerous archival documents and contemporary texts around the work, Behind the Scenes of the Last Metro attempts to understand what led the filmmaker to undertake this colossal project, with very personal themes. A book embellished with 50 archival photos, most unpublished, taken by the set photographer Jean-Pierre Fizet.
