The drama film from filmmaker Robert Guédiguian describes the first days of Nazi occupation of France. The main hero of “Army of Crime” is Missak Manouchian, an Armenian poet. Together with a gang of youngsters and immigrants of many nations including Jews, Italians, Spaniards and Poles, he takes part in a dramatic struggle for freedom and ideal. Their enemies are both Nazis and their French allies, who support the first ones. The forces of rebels consist of twenty-two men and a woman, the Missak’s wife Mélinée, who launch attacks against their oppressive opponents.
The volunteers originate from unlike homelands and their cultures differ a lot, but all of them are united by the common yearning to stop Nazi violence and protect their lives.
The most significant attack of the rebels is undertaken against an SS general, whom they murdered. The news about it reaches Berlin, and the authorities make everything possible to get even on them. The rebels’ activity is to be suppressed and its instigators – to answer for their actions by their lives. Thus the German high command gives a lesson of cruelty to the French people.
The film stars Simon Abkarian, who perfectly portrayed Armenian poet Missak, and unsurpassed Virginie Ledoyen in the role of his French wife.
