There doesn’t seem to be much discussion about it, but I just picked up Line of Demarcation (1966) in the latest KinoLorber sale and found it tremendously compelling. It’s set in a small French village during the Nazi occupation and takes a prismatic approach to the ways of dealing with this reality among the villagers.

Samm Deighan does an excellent commentary.

Huh, could've sworn we talked about it during the Chabrol list project, but apparently not. Agreed it's an interesting and good movie, but I don't think I've ever felt much motivation to say more. That's as good as any reason to revisit my copy!

One of the few films Chabrol made that reflected his own interest in films about armed resistance (not just the French Resistance, but clearly due to it)
