Passage to Marseille (1944)
Adventure | Drama | War
Unfolded in a complex flashback-within-flashback structure, this is the story of Jean Matrac, a freedom-loving French journalist who sacrifices his happiness and security to battle Nazi tyranny. The film opens as French liason officer Freycinet, stationed in London, tells Mantrac's story to a British reporter. Freycinet reveals that Mantrac, happily married to Paula, was framed by pro-fascists and sentenced to Devil's Island. Here he engineered a daring escape with such lost souls as Marius, Garou, Petit and Renault. Adrift in a lifeboat, the escapees were picked up by a French vessel commandeered by pro-fascist Major Duval. With the help of Mantrac and the prisoners, the ship's patriotic captain thwarted Duval's evil machinations, enabling Mantrac to continue his battle against Nazism as a member of the RAF.

The English Patient (1996)
Drama | Romance | War
Set in North Africa and Italy during the late 1930's and early '40's, 'The English Patient' is an epic drama of two haunting love stories that unfolds against a background of international upheaval. Through the prism of war, and of love and friendship, various themes — of fidelity, adultery, nationality and betrayals — are dramatized and explored. The story, based on Michael Ondaatje's Booker Prize-winning novel, is told elliptically, through the histories of four characters who find themselves in a ruined monastery in Italy at the end of World War II. Slowly they reveal themselves and, in the process, the true identity of the English patient — the unknown survivor of a plane shot down over the Sahara who lies dying in the monastery — is made clear. Passion fires these stories, whether it is the raw passion between lovers, or the compulsive passion which drives men to explore remote and inhospitable regions, or to pursue across time and countries those they think have wronged them.

Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom / Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (1975)
Drama | Thriller | War
Pier Paolo Pasolini was a celebrated poet, writer, and all-around intellectual, but it was his maverick, controversial filmmaking that distinguished him as an influential artistic force. The director's last film, '120 Days Of Sodom', an adaptation of the Marquis de Sade's 18th century novel, remains his most notorious (and most censored) due to its scenes of graphic rape and torture of adolescents. Pasolini relocates the novel's horrific abuses from France to the final days of Mussolini's reign, effectively rendering a grim portrait of the degradation of the human body and spirit beneath Fascist and Nazi rule.
