“Resistance” (***1/2 out of four) was a striking, stirring WWII melodrama based on the life of Marcel Marceau (Jesse Eisenberg) who was an aspiring mime artist who eventually joined forces with the French Jewish resistance to save the lives of 10,000 orphans from the terroristic control of Nazi Germany and one ruthless Nazi agent (Matthias Schweighofer) in particular. Full of arresting scenes that command your attention and hold you on the edge of your seat and exquisitely shot by M.I. Litten-Menz. Eisenberg’s usual one-note acting is used to ironic and strong effect here and Schweighofer is genuinely terrifying and all-too-believable in an Oscar-caliber performance.
