Marguerite Duras'
La Douleur
. It's a mix of fiction and non-fiction and I don't know about how much is/is-not true or not but I found it a fascinating first person account of the resistance and also an interesting perspective of France just after Liberation.

Le chagrin et la piti (the sorrow and the pity) is a superb 1969 documentary about occupied and Vichy France featuring loads of interviews with Resistance members, ex German soldiers, politicians and even a former member of the SS. Woody Allen is a big fan and his character famously took Annie Hall to see it in the film of the same name. It is a fascinating look at France during WW2, told from all sides.

I have them all and yes all are excellent.
"Eye of Vichy", the dvd, while not actually on the Resistance, does a give a fine overview of what they were up against in France during the time.
And another dvd is "La Bataille du Rail" whcih shows French railway workers sabotaging Nazi supply trains. -
