synopsis

Paris, September 1942. Lucas Steiner, the director of the Montmartre Theatre, has been forced to flee because he is Jewish. His wife, Marion, takes over the theatre and hires Bernard Granger to perform alongside her. Until opening night, the troupe faces the threats of a fierce and hostile critic…

Toutes les qualités qui caractérisent le cinéma de François Truffaut. Rigueur de la mise en scène, perfection tant du découpage que du montage, scénario chevillé et dialogues dont chaque mot est essentiel.

Le Parisien

A romantic delight: a full-bodied, gentle, passionate cross between Casablanca and Day for Night. It is also an inspiring (but not preachy) indictment of anti-Jewish and anti-homosexual cruelty.
