Warm, cinical, historically accurate (just in context) truffautian hommage to the theatre. The heart is not in the stage but in the cellar, with Deneuve and great Heinz Bennent.

An average movie

I have to admit it, it has been a while since I saw this movie and I should probably re-watch it at some point. Since this movie is a huge classic in France and the last big critical and commercial success for François Truffaut before his untimely death, I had some rather huge expectations towards the whole thing but, to be honest, I had actually a hard time to really connect with the damned thin... read more

The Last Metro is a very distinguished, exemplary piece of 7th art which was one of Truffant's last films before his death. The romance between Gerard Depardieu's character Bernard and Catherine Deneuve's Marion I found very ironic. Never once did I see they cultivated an interest in each other prior to their affair, nor any chemistry. The parts where they are particularly intimate, Depardieu and ... read more

Description: François Truffaut again tackles the elusive nature of creativity and the elusive creation in this thoughtful, sumptuous, 1980 film. Nominated for the Best Foreign Language film Oscar, and a winner of various Césars, The Last Metro is a tale of the theater in occupied France during World War II. Marion Steiner (Catherine Deneuve) manages the Theatre Montmarte in the stead of her Jewish husband, director Lucas Steiner (Heinz Bennent). He has purportedly fled France but is really hiding out in the basement of the theater. The one hope to save the Montmarte is a new play starring the dashing Bernard Granger (Gérard Depardieu).

“The Last Metro is a very distinguished, exemplary piece of 7th art which was one of Truffant's last films before his death. The romance between Gerard Depardieu's character Bernard and Catherine Deneuve's Marion I found very ironic. Never once did I see they cultivated an interest in each other prior to their affair, nor any chemistry. The parts where they are particularly intimate, Depardieu and Deneuve make a nice pair and give it their very best.

Towards the end, The Last Metro felt purposefully slow pace, as if to lengthen it out, to its current runtime. Up to an hour and a half, The Last Metro was excellent, with the capability of a rating up to 5 stars. But once the center of this whole flick elapsed, it soaked up every other storyline included and executed the ending of th” read more

Catherine Deneuve Films Viewed by Kathy (18 movies items)

" Director: François Truffaut Starring: Catherine Deneuve, Gérard Depardieu, Jean Poiret, Heinz Bennent and Andréa Ferréol When the Nazis occupy Paris, Jewish theater owner Lucas Steiner goes into hiding in the cellar, ceding control of the theater to his gentile wife, Marion. She mounts a new play and gives a break to upstart actor Bernard Granger by casting him in the lead. The two soon develop feelings for one another and she is torn between the two men. Things grow ever more complicated"
