Les femmes de l'ombre aka Female Agents (2008)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0824330/

Riveting, brutal, gut wrenching and depressing portrayal of the little known French Resistance Women who worked for the British SOE (Special Operation Executive) fighting the Nazi in Occupied Paris in World War 2.

Loosely based on the true story of Lise de Baissac, the French heroine of the SOE:

Is Sophie Marceau the only major French Actress working in French Cinema?

She seems to be in every French movie that requires a Heroine role.

4.5/5
