Review of Résistance

Résistance (2014)
7/10
How the French won the war...not.
1 August 2017
This series seems directed at a younger, possibly more impressionable,audience. Many characters are quite young and the story is a rather naive rendition of the resistance movement in France. To it's credit it focuses on the treachery of many French officials against it's own people and the bad Nazis are a backdrop. Although based on true events the central character seems a creation to link the stories together and she is it's weakest link. Played mostly deadpan she comes across as Mademoiselle Nancy Drew. "Young things do sabotage" might have been an apter title. Far better to watch "A French Village" for a more in depth and sophisticated look at occupied France.
