La guerre est finie (1966)
(The War Is Over)
Country: FR
Technical: bw 122m
Director: Alain Resnais
Cast: Yves Montand, Ingrid Thulin, Geneviève Bujold, Jean Dasté
Synopsis:
A communist activist returning from Spain on a covert mission which nearly cost him his life attempts to dissuade his contacts in Paris from pursuing their plans.
Review:
A film that speaks to the lassitude and growing irrelevance of a struggle that has conducted itself, for this character at least, from a position of exile. Apart from the moments of inattention that nearly cause his arrest, this does not, however, make for compelling cinema, though, as always with Resnais, there are compensations.
