Films and TV shows that feel like The Partisan by Leonard Cohen
A solemn, defiant lament for a anonymous Resistance fighter hunted in occupied France, mourning the fallen with quiet courage and the knowledge that the cause will outlast him.
Army of Shadows (1969): Melville's austere, fatalistic portrait of Resistance fighters is the closest match to the song's quiet, doomed dignity.
Female Agents (2008): French women recruited to sabotage the occupation, with the same cost of courage and loss.
Lacombe, Lucien (1974): Louis Malle's moral study of life in occupied France, the world the partisan hides in.
Is Paris Burning? (1966): The Resistance rising in the 1944 liberation of Paris, the hope the song's fallen died for.
Charlotte Gray (2001): A woman joins the Resistance in rural France, in a story of risk, love and betrayal.
Les Misérables (2012): Another tale of doomed rebels and fallen comrades, with a mournful elegy for those who die for freedom.
Allied (2016): Spies, Resistance work and wartime French settings, though more glamorous, with the same threat of betrayal.
A French Village (2009): A multi-season French drama following one village through occupation, collaboration and resistance.
