French Resistance
“L’Armee des Ombres,” based on Joseph Kessel’s classic novel about the French Resistance, will be screened by the Canterbury Film Society this Sunday and Tuesday. The director, JeanPierre Melville’s war heroes are prisoners of the twilight, fearing nothing so much as their own weaknesses. They fight less for survival than
for the right to choose their own death. The actors, including Lino Ventura, flawlessly capture the sorrow and pity of their desperate milieu. Screenings will be held at the Academy Cinema on Sunday at 2 p.m. and at the Sociology Theatrette, University of Canterbury, on Tuesday at 7.30 p.m.
