- Summary:
- Jean-Pierre Melville began his superb feature filmmaking career with this singularly eerie masterwork of elegant minimalism and hushed eloquence, a powerful adaptation of an influential underground novel written during the Nazi occupation of France. A cultured, naively idealistic German officer is billeted in the home of a middle-aged man and his grown niece; their response to his presence-their only form of resistance-is complete silence
