Au revoir les enfants

Garnering no less than 7 César awards including Best Film and Best Director, Louis Malle’s semi-autobiographical film is one of the greatest accounts on the Second World War 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 the priests, his identity concealed.
