- Synopsis
- In occupied France, German-run Continental Films calls the shots in the movie business. Assistant director and Resistance activist Jean Devaivre works for Continental, where he can get "in between the wolf's teeth and avoid being chewed up". Fast-living screenwriter Jean Aurenche uses every possible argument to avoid working for the enemy. For both, wartime is a battle for survival.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A rangy, irreverent, episodic odyssey through French filmmaking during the Occupation"
-
"No one who loves French film (or movies in general) should miss it."
-
"Superb -- Crammed with incident, and bristles with passion and energy. Tavernier treats his actors, every last one of them impressive, as an ensemble."
-
"Alternately frustrating and rewarding film."
-
"A remarkable and moving account of a part of the French experience that needs more remembering and less forgetting."
-
"The details feel authentic: The empty Paris streets, the profanation of German anti-aircraft guns atop belle epoque buildings. And Devaivre's adventures provide high tension."
