The Last Metro (1980) Criterion 1080p BluRay x265 HEVC AAC-SARTRE

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.

Extras

Truffaut about the joy of filmmaking.

• Les nouveaux rendez-vous - Francois Truffaut, Catherine Deneuve and Gerard
Depardieu talk about The Last Metro in this excerpted 1980 interview from the
French television program. The majority of the comments here pertain to the
characters each of the actors plays as well as the very intimate nature of
the story.

Bazin and Tessa Racine where they recall their work with legendary
cinematographer Nestor Almendros.

• Working with Truffaut: Nestor Almendros - A rare interview with
cinematographer Nestor Almendros that was conducted in Paris in April 1986. It
was excerpted in Rainer Gansera's 1986 documentary Arbeiten mi Francois
Truffaut, produced by WDR, but for this edit, made exclusively for the
Criterion Collection, Truffaut expert Robert Fischer constructed the interview
in full from the only surviving elements.

• Theatrical trailer
