Safe Passage

Directed by Bertrand Tavernier

Based on true stories related by director Jean-Devaivre and writer Jean Aurenche, Tavernier’s superlative film tells of the experiences of the Parisian filmmaking community during the Nazi occupation. Controversial upon release, it shines a light on an often-unexplored period in French cinema history.
