A prominent figure of the FRench resistance,Lucie Aubrac was very popular in France.Till her death ,she visited the junior high schools,explaining those dark years to the pupils,answering their questions .She even wrote a small book "La Resistance Expliquée A Mes Enfants" the relevance of which was obvious:she pointed out the important role of women in the Resistance when she wrote :"it's sometimes more dangerous to visit prisoners or to carry documents on your rack than to blow up a train." Carole Bouquet and Daniel Auteuil did a good job ,but Claude Berri didn't really.His movie is MTV quality and it boils down to a woman trying to save her husband and it passes over in silence the stakes in Resistance.We do not really learn anything.Take Melville's "L'Armée Des Ombres"(1969) instead.
