Plot
A man invents a heroic past in the Resistance.
Sinekatalog’s take
Jacques Audiard's wry drama follows a young man who invents a Resistance past and rises on the lie after the war. Mathieu Kassovitz is superb in a sharp, funny study of fraud, memory and postwar French myth.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
