Studiocanal is delighted to announce the 4K restoration of Jean-Pierre Melville’s WW2 set masterpiece Army of Shadows and you could be in with a chance to win two copies on Blu-Ray.
The movie will be available to own on Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital from June 3rd and we’ve popped this competition up nice and early for you so as many people as possible have the chance to win!
Having himself participated in the French Resistance, Army of Shadows is both Melville’s most personal film and, though initially underappreciated in France, is today widely recognized as being his finest.
Based on a novel by Joseph Kessel and featuring a stella cast that includes Lino Ventura (Les Misérables, Lift to The Scaffold), Paul Meurisse (Les Diaboliques, The Eleven O’clock Woman), Jean-Pierre Cassel (The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, The Three Musketeers) and Simone Signoret (Room at The Top, Les Diaboliques), ARMY OF SHADOWS is a real-life story channelled through the minimalism of Melville’s gangster films. The result is an unmissable tale of defiance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
The new 4K restoration comes with a whole heap of new extras such as:
Army of Shadows… the hidden side of the story (Blu-Ray only)
Jean Pierre Grumbach aka Cartier, aka Melville – Resistance Fighter and Filmmaker (Blu-Ray only)
Cert: 12 / Runtime: 145mins
