Having received a brand new German DVD of this film, I put it yesterday in my player an where wondering how it still fare in time after my last viewing four or five years ago.
In one word, even better.
BTW you can even see the influence of Bergman.
It is a masterpiece.

...and I've read the book, too. I wanted to name my daughter Zazie 13 years ago because I love the wonderfully alive and feisty girl in the story. In the end, my wife, who's a French teacher, ended up deciding that she'd get too much flak from other Francophiles about the name and vetoed it. So we settled on Zoe...

But it is a long time! One I should have to revisited. All I remember was a slow pacing...
How did you find it?
patrick,"The Last Metro" is I think an undervalued Truffaut. This one to me is bit like Schindler's List" for Spielberg- atypical, but in a strong but quietly mature manner. This is a very "natural" kind of movie that does not overwhelm with self-conscious high art film techniques and the story is very clear. There is a great balance of the personal story against the larger political/war background and the way war is confusing and intrudes in odd small tiring ways as well as with sudden great impacts.
I'm also a fan of another overlooked Truffaut- "L'Enfant sauvage".

Bonjour Bambi,In fact I think it is his best film, it is so very finely played, and so true to the " verité historique " if you catch all the small details in it, it is an eye opener. And the play in the play, a classic way as old as theater, is nicely put. AND it is morally of high value, showing that not all men or women are created equals.
We knows about the special bond between Steven and Francois...It is too bad that the first drifted in almost the nothing in all his last films, all being relative I hope that his master work " Schindler " he some day will will be a be able to surpasse, let´s hope...
"L enfant" has a lot of charm, and Truffaut´s role always was similar in my eyes as the one performance he made for " Close Encounter ".....A bientôt,
Patrick
Perhaps it IS time to revisit it... thank you for reminding.
And this film give you a very good insight how actually life in Paris under the occupation was.
And how the some french worked with the Nazis.
Terribly true.
The most accomplished Truffaut film.
Almost forgot...Depardieu best role and by far, yesterday I though while I look at this film that how important the director is! Hitch was not wrong when he said; Actors = cows...
Think at Bergman films with actors that never reach this highs in their abability to play with other directors. Or fully vanished, when they did not have the whole studio behind them with their huge marketing!
