Malle's Masterpiece Available At Last


I'd never seen it, but had been reading about it for decades. Well worth the wait -- an Occupation drama as great as Polanski's The Pianist.

I find it ironic that the real Lucien not only was arrested and executed in the first months after the war ended; but that the young actor Pierre Blaise died in an auto accident less than a year after the film was made.
