Gerald Loftus returns with his thoughts on a gritty, based-on-fact war story…
The lump that was in my throat during the 139 minutes of L’Armée du Crime, Robert Guédiguian’s dramatization of the ‘Manouchian Group’ story has subsided, but the emotion remains. This is a good, old-fashioned, based-on-fact war story that needed to be told, and in the veteran French-Armenian director’s hands, it has been done justice.
