» Female Agents
Cert: 15 – Director: Jean-Paul Salomé

After directing Arsène Lupin in 2004, Salomé returns with this high octane period thriller. Set in 1944 and inspired by decorated SOE agent Lisé de Baissac, the film follows a group of female resistance fighters enlisted into the British Special Service.

Given the task of rescuing a British army geologist and killing a German SS colonel, this is heavy duty stuff with a surprisingly adroit and Gallic touch. Sophie Marceau takes the lead and is supported superbly by Déborah François.
4/5
