Bertrand Tavernier based this fascinating 2001 drama of the French Occupation on the memories of two of his friends—Jean Aurenche, an apolitical screenwriter, and Jean Devaivre, an assistant director who served as a member of the Resistance. It's the most textured portrait of the period I know, exploring the complex moral choices each man faced in working for a German film production company. In French with subtitles. 163 min. By Jonathan Rosenbaum
