In Nazi-occupied France, Lucas Steiner (Heinz Bennent), a German-Jewish director hiding in Paris, must rely on his wife, Marion (Catherine Deneuve), to manage their theater alone. Struggling to keep it afloat, she meets Bernard Granger (Gérard Depardieu), an actor determined to resist the occupation. The Last Metro, the first film pairing Deneuve and Depardieu, features stunning night scenes and exquisite lighting, winning 10 César awards the year it was released.
