Die letzte Metro lief ja bereits vor einigen Wochen in HD auf ARTE. Ein knackiger Transfer mit sauberen, leuchtenden Farben, ganz anders als die verwaschene DVD. Toll, dass Criterion den Film jetzt auch auf Blu-Ray bringt!

Gérard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve star as members of a French theater company living under the German occupation during World War II in François Truffaut’s gripping, humanist character study. Against all odds—a Jewish theater manager in hiding; a leading man who’s in the Resistance; increasingly restrictive Nazi oversight—the troupe believes the show must go on. Equal parts romance, historical tragedy, and even comedy, The Last Metro (Le dernier métro) is Truffaut’s ultimate tribute to art overcoming adversity, and the winner of ten César awards (France’s equivalent of the Oscars), including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress.
