 | | Few films about the German occupation of France have had the moral force and clarity of Lacombe, Lucien, a disquieting portrait of a young peasant, desperate for social acceptance, who is rejected by the Resistance for his lack of commitment. |
 | | Soon an expert in hunting down and torturing people for the Gestapo, he falls in love with Frances Horn, the daughter of a Jewish tailor, failing to recognize the ensuing moral dilemma. |
 | | Without ever mentioning the subject of innocence and guilt, Lacombe, Lucien, in its calm leisurely way, addresses it on a deeper level than any other movie I know” (Pauline Kael). |
