Overview

The film is about the French film industry from 1942 to 1944 during the Nazi occupation. The film focuses on assistant director and resistance fighter Jean Devaivre and screenwriter Jean Aurenche. Aurenche is on the move so that he doesn't have to write anything collaborationist. Devaivre is in dangerous political activity. Devaivre also works for the German production company Continental where he is respected. On the other hand, Aurenche's scriptwriting doesn't help how he lives and he is a womanizer which causes him to procrastinate.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A deliberately paced examination of how artists navigate impossible moral compromises during occupation, following two screenwriters caught between survival, conscience, and the demands of their craft. The film is absorbed in the textures of creative life under fascism rather than dramatic confrontation.
