Offering you two trailers of the film Army of Shadows by Jean Pierre Melville:

The original trailer made by Melville himself clearly avoids using any Nazi imagery, since the film is a timeless masterpiece set in a notoriously particular time period. The strength of the film is the display of human condition without using conventional tools of association.

ON the other hand the trailer made for the American release in 2006 places the emphasis entirely on the Nazis; condescending the film to a convention about all period films.

This little example in itself exhibits the brutal difference of the American approach versus the European.

Information about the film provided from Criterion Collection: Jean-Pierre Melville's masterpiece about the French Resistance against the Nazi occupation went unreleased in the United States for thirty-seven years, before its triumphant theatrical debut in 2006. Atmospheric and gripping, Army of Shadows is Melville's most personal film, featuring Lino Ventura, Paul Meurisse, Jean-Pierre Cassel, and the incomparable Simone Signoret as intrepid underground fighters who must grapple with their own brand of honor in their battle against Hitler's regime.
