Jesse Eisenberg, Bella Ramsey & Jonathan Jakubowicz discuss their recent film "RESISTANCE". A compelling drama from director Jonathan Jakubowicz ("Hands of Stone", "Secuestro Express"), whose own family history was a point of inspiration, Resistance traces how a revolutionary, selfless act of courage forever changed countless lives – and how a group of unsung heroes risked everything to rise above hatred and oppression.
As a young man growing up in Nazi-occupied France, Marcel Mangel has no intention of getting involved in World War II. As a theater performer in his twenties, Marcel’s pursuits include impersonating Charlie Chaplin in burlesque clubs, painting backdrops for his plays, and antagonizing his obstinate father.
However, his life is permanently altered when, after witnessing acts of atrocity, he is recruited into the French Resistance. And the performer, who forges his passport to the name Marcel Marceau, puts his skills to the ultimate test, working at incredible risk to help transport orphaned Jewish children from Nazi-occupied France into Switzerland. Employing daring acts of real-life performance, imagination, and sleight-of-hand, he saved the lives of hundreds of children. In an act of compassion and generosity that would ripple into his professional life, he also taught orphaned children how to survive in the horrifying reality of the Holocaust.
"Resistance" is the first-ever film to tell the incredible story of Marceau’s heroism during the war. Portraying the singular entertainer is Oscar-nominee Jesse Eisenberg ("The Social Network", "Now You See Me", "Zombieland"), who is supported in the cast by Ed Harris ("Apollo 13", "Westworld") as Gen. George S. Patton, Édgar Ramírez ("Hands of Stone", "The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story"), Clémence Poésy ("Harry Potter", "In Bruges", "War and Peace"), Bella Ramsey ("Game of Thrones", "Judy"), Géza Röhrig ("Son of Saul") as Marceau’s cousin Georges Loinger, and Matthias Schweighöfer ("Valkyrie", "Kursk") as the notorious Klaus Barbie.
