Resistance

Handsomely mounted biopic based on the life of Marcel Marceau. Jesse Eisenberg impresses as the mime artist who fought for the French Jewish Resistance in his youth during WWII.

Before he was the world-famous mime, Marceau was an aspiring Jewish actor who joined the French Resistance to save the lives of thousands of children orphaned at the hands of the Nazis.

A compelling drama about a group of unsung heroes who put themselves in harm’s way to rise above hatred and oppression during World War II.

“A tense and gripping thriller inspired by yet another true-life, World War II-era tale of courage and resolve against one of history’s most unthinkable evils.” ~ Los Angeles Times.
