SAFE CONDUCT - DVD

Details

• Release Year: 2001
• Genre: Drama, Foreign, War
• Plot: Dedicated to 'those who lived through these events,' Bertrand Tavernier's Safe Conduct celebrates the artists who kept the French film industry alive during the Nazi occupation. Tavernier (Round Midnight) meticulously recreates this tumultuous period in French history, when filmmakers were forced to weigh career with conscience, and their real-life heroics rivaled any adventure they created for the screen. Jacques Gamblin (Winner: Best Actor at the Berlin International Film Festival) stars as Jean Devaivre, who leads a double life as an assistant director for the leading German production company, and a member of the Resistance. Denis Podalydes costars as Jean Aurenche, a womanizing screenwriter who is determined not to work for the enemy. Packed with incredible incidents and populated by fascinating real characters, the thrilling Safe Conduct is a labor of love from one of the world cinema's most distinguished directors.
