THE MONUMENTS MEN (2014)

Starring Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, George Clooney, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Hugh Bonneville, Sam Hazeldine, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban and Holger Handtke. Directed by George Clooney.

Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action-thriller focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys – seven museum directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 – possibly hope to succeed? But as the Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend mankind’s greatest achievements.

Starring Jean Dujardin, Nastya Golubeva Carax, August Diehl, Olivier Chantreau, Anna Próchniak, Lucile Vignolles, Chloé Astor, Vincent Colombe, Maria Cavalier-Bazan and Valeriu Andriuta. Directed by Xavier Giannoli.

Late-1930s Europe: fervent pacifist Luchaire finds an ally in young German Francophile Otto Abetz. Together, they champion peace and rapprochement between their nations in the uneasy calm after the Great War. Meanwhile, Jean's glamorous daughter Corinne is making waves as a rising movie star, hailed as the "French Greta Garbo".
By 1940, however, the Nazi invasion of Paris forces stark choices. Jean aligns with German authorities and, through his newspaper Les Nouveaux Temps, becomes a powerful press baron - embracing collaboration as a path to influence and survival. His trajectory intertwines with that of Otto's, now the Reich ambassador, whose support helps cement his position inside the occupiers' elite. Through her connection to the two, Corinne is drawn into an intoxicating yet perilous world of embassy parties, salons, and propaganda cinema that both protects and endangers her.
