Dir: Robert Guédiguian France 2009 139 mins Cert: UK 15
Cast: Ariane Ascaride, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Simon Abkarian, Virginie Ledoyen
Robert Guédiguian aims to do for the French resistance what Days of Glory did for the army: remind the broad mass of French society that foreigners and non-natives were as committed to the defeat of the Nazis as the locals.
His subject is the Affiche Rouge - the Red Poster - with which the Germans branded a resistance cell, run by Armenian-born Missak Manouchian, as criminal terrorists in 1944; hence the film's title, echoing the Nazis' own propaganda.
Guédiguian makes no secret of the fervent communism of the group's members, even as he points up their varied ethnic composition: Polish, Russian, Italian, a large percentage Jewish.
