As a portrait of a time, Last Metro is a warmly performed and deftly shot trifle.

Slant Magazine
Rating: A- --
Political and romantic intrigues run parallel and then intersect in Truffaut's critically acclaimed and commercially popular Oscar-nominated WWII saga, starring Catherine Deneuve and Gerard Depardieu.

Godard's adventure endures in criticism, in the search for new forms of expression; Truffaut's looks, on the other hand, at a fundamentally conservative public, inside and outside of France. [Full review in Spanish]

El Pais (Spain)
At times, the film seems to be about the reasons for its own emptiness.

Chicago Reader
...Deneuve has always been at her best directed by Truffaut. In THE LAST METRO she has never been more glamorous...
Sight and Sound
Truffaut balances his hopeful plot on a tightrope of coincidences and narrow escapes that horrifically suggest the abyss that engulfed so many men and women of the artistic and political underground. In French.
New Yorker
Product Description:
A determined woman endeavors to keep her Jewish husband's theatre operating while the Nazis occupy Paris. Each night, she visits her husband who is hiding in a secret apartment under the stage. Winner of ten French Cesar awards.
Product Description:
Gerard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve star as members of a French theater company living under the German occupation during World War II in Francois Truffaut's gripping, humanist character study. Against all odds--a Jewish theater manager in hiding; a leading man who's in the Resistance; increasingly restrictive Nazi oversight--the troupe believes the show must go on. Equal parts romance, historical tragedy, and even comedy, The Last Metro (Le dernier metro) is Truffaut's ultimate tribute to art overcoming adversity.
