Au Revoir les Enfants
cert. 12A | by Louis Malle, 2022, 104′, fetaure, in French with English subtitles
Bafta winner for Best Direction, Louis Malle, waited 42 years to make this semi-autobiographical film, set in January 1944 at an exclusive Catholic boarding school outside Fontainebleau. One of the great movies about World War Two and the German Occupation, this richly detailed, immaculately acted film traces the friendship between two 12 years-old, one from a wealthy Catholic family through whose eyes the events are seen, the other a Jewish boy hidden by priests, his identity concealed
