"In this droll comedy Mathieu Kassovitz (Hate, Café Au Lait) stars as Albert Dehousse. At once a feeble slave to his mother`s madness, history will remember Alberts captivating rise to heroism as a leader of the French Resistance. As brilliantly as de Gaulle eludes his nation`s collaboration with the Nazi`s, so will Albert shed his life of mediocrity in favor of one more fantastical. Restricted from service, Albert can only watch as the war ends without him. He desperately resolves to flee Paris where his inspired gift of decption and trickery will lead to a tenaciously drawn plan reinventing a new and heroic indentity for himself- a true reminder that the best lives are often the ones we make up." Director: Jacques Audiard. Color. Country: France. Subtitled.
