ARMY OF SHADOWS


4 out of 5. Melville's ARMY OF SHADOWS is an intriguing approach to storytelling that challenges convention. The POVs shift from character to character as we become familiar with the ranks of the French Resistance. Melville uses a lot of push-in/pull back focusing which was prevalent for the time. The cinematography is stunning.
