Additional InformationTHE SORROW AND THE PITY is one of the greatest documentaries ever made, delving into the Nazi occupation of France. Director Marcel Ophuls interviewed dozens of French, British, and German citizens, including soldiers, former Nazis, members of the resistance and collaborators. The result is an amazing portrait of ordinary people in extraordinary, and terrible, conditions. Incidentally, Woody Allen paid recurring homage to it in ANNIE HALL.
ReviewsMail on Sunday - ...One of the great historical documentaries..., Daily Telegraph - ...Worth four and a half hours of anyone's life..., The Observer - ...Irresistible... a great work of art, as gripping as any thriller...
