Burning at Both Ends (also known as Resistance 1942 in some territories) is a 2022 film set in Nazi occupied Vichy France, starring Cary Elwes, Jason Patric, Greer Grammer, Sebastian Roché and Judd Hirsch.
As the Gestapo searches for him, Jacques and his daughter Juliette find help from Andre, a Swiss banker, who risks his life to aid them.
The movie depicts the power of ordinary people to effect positive change in times of despair.
[1] Elwes was originally announced be to starring alongside Matthew Modine when the production was revealed by Slingshot Productions in Los Angeles in March 2017, with filming expected to begin that spring.
[3] In a review entitled "Jason Patric smuggles quality into worthy war tale", The Guardian said the film had "the kernel of a good idea" but the "timid film fails to fully capitalise on [the] uncomfortable scenario and misses opportunities elsewhere, instead going big on self-satisfied pieties about fighting the just fight."
