"The Last Metro" is the representative work of François Truffaut's mature period of art, fully demonstrating his consistent vivid, tender and novel style. Truffaut’s directing technique is extraordinary. It is not so much a film that uses realism to reproduce history, but rather a comedy with an impressionistic style. Although many details of the film are based on the memories of newspapers and magazines of the time and some witnesses of the era, there is no trace of patchwork. The whole plot is almost always in the theater-the hall, stage, backstage, cellar and the street in front of the theater. The outside war almost only penetrated into the daily life of the theater through the insertion of the lens, constantly threatening the existence of the theater

It's a movie within a movie. It's very special to shoot World War II like this.

How should I put it, there is no special feeling... The narrative is good. The double-narrative film-in-film structure is used a lot now, thinking about how many layers Lynch has... but the corresponding effect is good. Gas pipe - subway. Iron Curtain - Emotions.

Jean-Loup Cottins: This is Arlette Guillaume, our set and costume designer. Bernard Granger. He'll play Carl. You must have seen him on stage.
Arlette Guillaume: I don't think so. Wait. Yes, now I recall it.
Jean-Loup Cottins: At the Grand Guignol?
Arlette Guillaume: No, it was in something more ordinary. He played a man cruising the streets.
Bernard Granger: You can't judge me by that part. I was improvising.
Arlette Guillaume: Yet, I could have sworn you knew this role by heart.
