Female Agents (Les Femmes de l'ombre)

I have this terrible conundrum. I looove to go to the movies, but after 30 minutes I tend to get restless and uncomfy. My legs itch, my back becomes sore...and plainly put, i can become darn annoying.

Well not so in the French Film Female Agents. Itchy feet no more, I was engrossed from the very start and could happily go back to watch this film again......and again..

The film follows the story of five women who, one way or another, become involved in a mission to protect the secret of the D-Day Landings and eliminate Colonel Heindrich (Moritz Bleibtreu), the head of the German counter-intelligence.

As my boyfriend put it the film is 'feminist without being in-your-face about it' and we both agreed that the cast were nothing short of - AMAZING.

Truly these leading ladies give compelling, complex and titillating performances and if not for the sake of history, go see this film for performance alone.
