🎥 Anti Social Hours and Cult Movie Mondays present:Army of Shadows (L’armée des ombres)
🗓 Monday, November 3 | ⏰ Doors: 6PM | 🎬 Film: 8PM | 📍 TicTic, Phnom Penh
Jean-Pierre Melville’s wartime masterpiece trades battlefield heroics for the quiet terror of resistance work. In occupied France, every whispered word, every knock on the door, could mean betrayal. Army of Shadows follows Philippe Gerbier (Lino Ventura) and his clandestine comrades as they navigate loyalty, secrecy, and moral compromise beneath the Nazi occupation.
Melville, himself a Resistance veteran, shoots espionage like ritual — calm, procedural, and heartbreakingly human. This is resistance as slow suffocation, where courage and futility are one and the same. Stoic, somber, and utterly gripping, it remains one of cinema’s most powerful meditations on duty and despair.
💬 “A triumph of tone — sombre, meticulous, and unflinchingly humane.” – Sight & Sound
💬 “Rarely has a film shown so truly that place in the heart where hope lives with fatalism.” – Roger Ebert
