and damn, that might be one of the best movies i've seen.

it's a tense movie about a french resistance soldier imprisoned in vichy france that, despite being full of long takes and "slow cinema" techniques, never feels slow. every second isn't wasted and each cut is purposeful and deliberate, making even mundane moments unbelievably stressful. every second isn't wasted and each cut is purposeful and deliberate, making even mundane moments unbelievably stressful.

i would seriously recommend it to anyone, even ones allergic to old movies. it's a hypnotic movie that should be taught to people in ww2 history classes
