Leon Gast’s riveting film about the 1974 ‘Rumble In The Jungle’, the fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, in Zaire, for the heavyweight championship of the world. It keeps me on my toes! Meanwhile, in no particular order. I’ve had lots of feedback so far at so please keep it coming. Over the past three months I have listed my 100 favourite feature films and now it’s time for the documentaries I cherish the most - the first batch this week, more next - with my favourite foreign language movies to come. Telling the truth: my pick of the best documentaries But director Patrick Vollrath keeps it taut, tense and mostly plausible enough to make me, at least, feel relieved that I’m not about to get on a plane any time soon. Like Resistance, 7500 is not without flaws.

They demand access to the cockpit and he won’t let them in, even when they threaten to kill hostages until he does. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, so good as an intrepid tightrope-walker in 2015’s The Walk, here needs to show another kind of resourcefulness at a great height, when the flight his character is co-piloting from Berlin to Paris is attacked by Islamic terrorists.

7500, by the way, is the code pilots use for a hijacking. There's a different kind of peril at the heart of 7500, a low-budget hijack thriller which takes place entirely in the cockpit of the stricken plane, and might remind you of other deliberately claustrophobic dramas, such as the excellent 2013 film Locke. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, so good as an intrepid tightrope-walker in 2015’s The Walk, here needs to show another kind of resourcefulness at a great height, when the flight his character is co-piloting from Berlin to Paris is attacked by Islamic terrorists It probably would have made no difference, but I still wish I’d known, aged eight, that I was watching not just a clown, but also a saviour.

Nevertheless, this is still a story worth telling, and on the whole it isn’t told badly. Speaking in an indeterminate European accent, Eisenberg gives one of those nervy, tic-laden performances (see The Social Network and, for that matter, pretty much everything else he’s done) that can be unhelpfully distracting.Ī sub-plot detailing Marceau’s edgy relationship with his father is another distraction, and the film doesn’t need to be book-ended by General Patton (Ed Harris) introducing Marceau to his troops. But before they can lead their charges to safety, there are some genuinely tense moments, mostly involving the depraved Barbie. It is also within striking distance of the Alps and freedom. Lyon is the centre of the French Resistance so that is where Marceau, his girlfriend Emma (the ever-beguiling Clemence Poesy) and other Jewish Resistance fighters have come. The film starts in 1938, showing us how he uses his burgeoning artistry as a mime to win the affection of scared German-Jewish orphans intelligence agents eager to tap into his hatred of Communism. But there’s nothing to ridicule about these Nazis, least of all Klaus Barbie (Matthias Schweighofer), the so-called Butcher of Lyon, who insists on committing acts of unspeakably cruel torture himself.Ī caption at the end gives no hint of one of history’s great outrages, that Barbie was ushered to safety after the war by U.S. There are striking echoes in all this of Roberto Benigni’s 1997 tearjerker Life Is Beautiful, and perhaps also a whiff of last year’s Jojo Rabbit.

Even more importantly, he shows them how to hide in plain sight, how to make ‘the invisible visible, and the visible, invisible’. The film starts in 1938, showing us how he uses his burgeoning artistry as a mime to win the affection of scared German-Jewish orphans. I must admit that until I saw Resistance I had no idea that Marceau was Jewish, the son of a kosher butcher in Strasbourg, still less that he was a war hero. Rather, it is the courage he shows in leading groups of Jewish children, whose parents have been murdered or carted off to concentration camps, from occupied France to safety in neutral Switzerland, right under the noses of the Nazis. That he was indisputably a great man, however, is the firm message of Jonathan Jakubowicz’s film Resistance, which is mostly set during World War II and stars Jesse Eisenberg as Marceauīut in this largely true story it is not his dramatic talent that imbues him with greatness.
