Le Dernier Métro
''The Last Metro'' () is a 1980 period drama film, co-written and directed by François Truffaut, that stars Catherine Deneuve and Gérard Depardieu. Set in Nazi-occupied Paris in 1942, the film follows the fortunes of a small theatre in the Montmartre quarter which keeps up passive resistance by maintaining its cultural integrity, despite censorship, antisemitism and material shortages. The title evokes two salient facts of city life under the Germans: fuel shortages led people to spend their evenings in theatres and other places of entertainment, but the curfew meant they had to catch the last Métro train home. Upon its release in theatres on 17 September 1980, ''The Last Metro'' became one of Truffaut's more commercially successful films. In France it had 3,384,045 admissions and in the United States it grossed $3 million. At the 6th César Awards, ''The Last Metro'' received 12 nominations and won 10 of them, including Best Film. The film also received Best Foreign Film ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
François Truffaut
François Roland Truffaut ( , ; ; 6 February 1932 – 21 October 1984) was a French filmmaker, actor, and critic. He is widely regarded as one of the founders of the French New Wave. He came under the tutelage of film critic Andre Bazin as a young man and was hired to write for Bazin's ''Cahiers du Cinéma'', where he became a proponent of the auteur, ''auteur'' theory, which posits that a film's director is its true author. ''The 400 Blows'' (1959), starring Jean-Pierre Léaud as Truffaut's alter-ego Antoine Doinel, was a defining film of the New Wave. Truffaut supplied the story for another milestone of the movement, Breathless (1960 film), ''Breathless'' (1960), directed by his ''Cahiers'' colleague Jean-Luc Godard. His other notable films include ''Shoot the Piano Player'' (1960), ''Jules and Jim'' (1962), ''The Soft Skin'' (1964), ''Two English Girls'' (1971) and ''The Last Metro'' (1980).
