The Sorrow and the Pity 2 Disc DVD Set

A landmark documentary examining life under occupation with remarkable honesty, intelligence and humanity.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine love of world cinema, independent film and memorable performances. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each title now looking for a new home where it can continue to be appreciated.

Directed by Marcel Ophuls, The Sorrow and the Pity explores life in occupied France during the Second World War through interviews, personal testimony and archive footage.

Centred around Clermont-Ferrand, the documentary examines resistance, collaboration, fear, survival and moral compromise, allowing conflicting memories and uncomfortable truths to remain visible rather than reducing history to simple heroes and villains.

An essential addition for collectors of Marcel Ophuls films, historical documentaries, Second World War cinema and serious European documentary filmmaking.
