ARMY OF CRIME tells an extraordinary true story of the French Resistance during WWII. In German-occupied Paris, poet and factory worker Missak Manouchian (Simon Abkarian) led a courageous group of immigrant fighters to sabotage the Nazi regime. Made up of young Jews, Poles, Hungarians, Romanians, Italians, Spaniards and Armenians, this heroically ragtag group committed nearly all acts of armed resistance in the capital between March and November 1943, before a series of arrests broke their ranks. Director Robert Guédiguian dramatizes their tale, bringing to life their acts of everyday sabotage from bombing Nazi hangouts to assassinating brutal generals, all the while being hounded by the Vichy French police, who use double-agents and macabre tortures to bring them in. In the middle of it all, Manouchian's love for his strong-willed wife Mélinée (the luminous Virginie Ledoyen) reminds them of the liberty they're fighting for. The noble and tragic story of these immigrants, who died for the republican ideals of France, is poetically brought to life in this epic film. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

In the Czech Republic, it has recently become popular to criticize one's own nation in terms of how they behaved towards people during World War II. And behold. Even France, which has always been quite nationalistic, has started engaging in this self-flagellation. This film shows France from a slightly different perspective, from the side of the Jewish resistance, who tried their fate in Paris, only to pay for it. It is definitely an interesting film with many powerful thoughts. Mostly regarding France's attitude towards Jews during World War II. However, the film was incredibly boring and its length was honestly a huge suffering, which is a shame because such a theme should be seen throughout Europe so that everyone realizes that we are all just people and that the past was incredibly difficult, as everything was interconnected and even a minor mention could lead to the death of a loved one and so on. Shame. I liked the idea in the film, if it were shorter, I would give it a try and wouldn't criticize it here.
