In occupied Paris an actress hides her Jewish, theatre director husband to protect him against Nazi persecution, in this enthralling exploration of humanity at its best and worst. Featuring mesmerising performance from French cinema icons Catherine Deneuve and Gérard Depardieu, The Last Metro is a powerful character study set against the backdrop of fascist tyranny.
