<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n| 1969 (DIGITALLY RESTORED & RE-RELEASED IN 2023) \u2013 300\u2032 \u2013 DOCUMENTARY, WAR, CLASSIC. From its first release at an underground theater in Paris, this account of France’s occupation under Nazi regime has been acclaimed as one of the most moving and influential films ever made. Director Marcel Oph\u00fcls interviewed the residents of Clermont-Ferrand who remembered the occupation, as well as government officials, writers, farmers, artists, and German veterans. Here, in their own words, is the story of how ordinary citizens and leaders alike behaved under military siege. Originally refused by French TV, the film garnered international success and acclaim — including an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary — while shattering the myth of an undivided and universally resistant France under the Vichy government. A triumph of on-the-ground filmmaking, THe Sorrow and\u00a0The Pity remains gripping, appalling, and exhilarating for its transparent view upon humanity.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n THE SORROW AND THE PITY | 1969 (DIGITALLY RESTORED & RE-RELEASED IN 2023) \u2013 300\u2032 \u2013 DOCUMENTARY, WAR, CLASSIC.
