teatro Bolognini 2

Paris 1942, under Nazi occupation, when the last train before curfew is at 8.30 pm. People have not lost their desire to perform on stage or go to the theatre. The small Théâtre de Montmartre is involved in staging a Norwegian comedy Disappearance. Its director Lucas Steiner, a Jew, has put out a story that he has fled to America. The fate of both the theatre and its company is in the hands of his wife, principle actress Marion, and his trusted assistant, the director Jean-Loup Cottins. In actual fact, Steiner is hiding in the theatre’s cellar and from there, thanks to the ability of Marion, who visits him every evening, he directs Jean-Loup’s activities, who is unaware of his presence. It is from this cellar Steiner will witness the changes in his marriage and the world. This is one of François Truffaut’s best-known films, shot in 1980 with an exceptional cast: Catherine Deneuve, Gérard Depardieu, Jean Piret, Andréa Ferréol and Heinz Bennent.
