Gramps Is in the Resistance
The movie that cost more than the D-Day Landings
Directed by Jean-Marie Poiré
Produced by Les Films Christian Fechner
A comedic satire of WWII and French Resistance mythology that uses absurdist humor and double identities to mock both Nazi occupation and French pretension.
It is 1943 in Paris. Like so many others, the Bourbelle family's home has been taken over by the Germans and they now live in their cellar. Little do they know that the son, Guy-Hubert Bourdelle, is far from being the cowardly hairdresser he pretends. He is in truth the Germans’ most feared opponent: le super-résistant!
