Trivia
A part of the street rue Androuet in 75018 Paris had been turned into a period film set in February 2020, but on the 17th of March 2020, France went into lockdown and on the night of 10th of May 2020, a thunderstorm hit the city, so for 2 months, the street was trapped in time and the set slowly destroyed. They had to be recreated after end of lockdown, 11th of May 2020, so shooting can finally start on the week of 1st of June 2020.

Goofs
The poster on the wall outside the shop has stayed there during months but it is still intact.

Farwell Mr Haffmann - Harrowing Times

Exploring some of the bizarre, darker aspects of the human condition during occupation, this modern drama displays French cinema at its finest. Director Fred Cavaye brings starkly to life a story by Jean Philippe Daguerre, dealing with those shocking years of the Nazi occupation of France. The sickening French collaborators, the inhumanity of innocent families lives being sacrificed to an inhumane regime, and the uncertainty of what might remain in the years to follow.

All performances are uniformly sterling (especially Sara Giraudeau as the perplexed wife) as is the dynamic cinematography by Denis Rouden - making this above-average production riveting from beginning to its somewhat ironic finale. It's rounded off by a thoughtful music score from Christophe Julian.

At times it's perhaps a difficult watch and some plot development might seem a bit forced, but eventually offers some rich rewards. Recommended for contemporary History devotees and studies of human relationships.
