Female Agents: Win copies of Laurent Vachaud's novel
Preview by Jack Foley
IT’S spring 1944 and grieving Resistance sniper Louise Desfontaine (Sophie Marceau) is asked to recruit a team of five to rescue a British agent who has falling into German hands while scouting the Normany beaches.
With the help of her brother (Julien Boisselier), she recruits Suze (Marie Gillain), a showgirl who excels in the art of seduction; Gaelle (Deborah Francois), a chemist and explosives expert who has found religion; Maria (Maya Sansa), a Jewish Italian radio operator, and Jeanne (Julie Depardieu), a prostitute who has already killed in cold blood.
But their mission becomes more dangerous after it becomes apparent that German colonel Heindrich (Moritz Bleibtreu) has got wind of the D-Day proposals and must be assassinated to prevent word spreading further up the German command.
Director Jean-Paul Salome’s movie, based on the novel by Laurent Vachaud, is designed to pay tribute to the heroism and sacrifices made by female Resistance fighters during the Second World War. It does just that, as well as offering an old-fashioned adventure to boot.
It opens in UK cinemas on June 27, 2008.
