Directed by Alain Resnais • 1966 • France, Sweden
Starring Yves Montand, Ingrid Thulin, Geneviève Bujold
With an Academy Award–nominated, autobiographical screenplay by Spanish political exile Jorge Semprún, LA GUERRE EST FINIE (“The War Is Over”) finds pioneering modernist Alain Resnais channeling his signature explorations of time and memory into a tense political thriller that gives voice to the revolutionary fervor and dashed dreams that marked a generation. Three decades after the Spanish Civil War, Communist operative Diego Mora (Yves Montand) finds himself juggling multiple secret identities as he continues his dangerous missions and reflects on a life of political struggle. Though he is increasingly disillusioned, his determination to help a possibly captured comrade and a chance encounter with an impetuous student terrorist (Geneviève Bujold) keep his commitment to the cause alive in a world of subterfuge and treachery.
