Seeing Greatness in Shadows

Army of Shadows was disappointing. I still thought the film was really good, but it didn’t blow me away like a majority of Jean-Pierre Melville’s other films. Maybe I went into the film with too high of expectations. I want to see the greatness that other people see. I’m going to be jealous if any of my fiends love the hell out of it.

Every movie review I’ve read claims that Army of Shadows is Jean-Pierre Melville’s masterpiece. I think that honor still belongs to Le Samourai.
