Another epic episode in the middle of the War!
Added 9/29/2007
Lucie Aubrac is a delirious, absorbing and engaging drama in the middle of the bloody WW2. this was a true story of Lucie and Raymond Aubrac, when at the outbreak of the War, this couple decides to join the French Resistance. Raymond is Jewish, and is captured by the nazis and condemned to death. But she will risk her life to make a smart plan to liberate him.
Carole Boucquet and Daniel Auteil make a solid and effective team in a tour de force and towering performance, that, supported by this driving force director- Claude Beeri (Germinal, Jean de Florette) make a worthy to collect movie.

I liked this movie. Beautifully done and a good peek into
the French resistance. Kept me interested and a moving 'true' story.

An Unusual Romance
Added 2/16/2006
When we think romance in film...we think of the classics (Greta Garbo, Vivian Leigh, etc). This story of passion between a man and a woman is entirely different. The female heroine simply won't accept the Nazi's execution order for her husband (who was captured in a sting against the French resistance). Therefore, she takes every step imaginable to free him...and succeeds. Now that's love!

For a French film, this one disappoints
Added 5/17/2005
I have an extremely high regard for French cinema in general, but "Lucie Aubrac" reminds me of formula War Weepies made in the U.S.; nothing special about it. Guess I've been spoiled by superb films like "Ridicule" or "Mr. Hire," but I expect far more from a French film than "Lucie Aubrac" delivers. I wish I didn't have to say so, but "Lucie Aubrac" almost looks "made for TV" and reminds me of yet another example of extraordinary actors trapped in an all-too-ordinary movie with an uninspired screenplay that tells the story in a workmanlike fashion. It's not a "bad" film. It's not a good one, either. Lucie Aubrac's story deserves better.

Sexy drama and empowering!
Added 5/20/2004
Daniel Auteuil has a hidden sexiness that bursts out in this film! This is based on a true story of a French women that helps her husband escape from a Nazi death sentence so that they can keep a promise they made to each other, to make love to each other every year on their anniverary.It is a powerful drama that not even Hollywood could make. The French are progressive filmmakers that far surpasses the formulaic fluff that is generated by the Hollywood studios. The Hollywood moguls think that American movie-goers cannot think for themselves in the theater. Great film that all should see. It should not be remade but seen in this version!!!!
