DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Max Ophüls France/Germany

His documentary 'The Sorrow and the Pity' is a landmark examination of French collaboration and resistance during Nazi occupation.

 Louis Malle France

His film 'Lacombe, Lucien' unflinchingly explores the moral ambiguity of a young French collaborator during the German occupation.

 Jean-Pierre Melville France

His resistance thrillers like 'Army of Shadows' authentically capture the tension and danger of the French underground fighting Nazi occupation.
