Join us and discover the best film America has never seen.  We are very proud to present Jean-Pierre Melville’s overlooked masterpiece Army of Shadows, newly restored and appearing in American theaters for the first time.

Army of Shadows follows a small group of Resistance fighters in WWII France as they collaborate against the Nazi occupation.  Filled with tension and suspense, fans of film noir will immediately feel at home through Melville’s meditation on the quiet, unheralded acts of patriotism that save nations from tyranny.

“Bleak and beautiful by turns, that rare work of art that thrills the senses and the mind.”  Mahohla Dargis, New York Times

Army of Shadows will be introduced by  Lorraine Wochna
