beautiful and captivating,
By maple tree (Somerset, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Au Revoir Les Enfants [DVD] (DVD)
A beautifully filmed, directed and acted story of friendship, closeness, cruelty and betrayal, in a convent boarding school in WWII occupied France.
There is not much "action", but the film kept me gripped from the first minute to the last. It left me with a sense of having been there, and has been staying with me for days.

Au revoir les enfants,
By Old Nick (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Au Revoir Les Enfants [DVD] (DVD)
This has to be one of the most moving French films I've ever seen. Set in a Catholic school in France during the German occupation, the story recounts the lives of two of the boys and the friendship that develops between them.
Malle successfully captures and conveys the innocence of childhood yet also the harsh reality and far-reaching effects of war. I saw this film in a cinema in France when it was first released. You could have heard a pin drop at the end, such is the impact of this powerful film.

A gradual build up to a memorable climax,
By
This review is from: Au Revoir Les Enfants [DVD] (DVD)
Set in Second World War occupied France, the story slowly introduces us to the personalities and interactions among a groups of boys living in a select, Catholic boarding school. At first the viewer may feel that nothing much is happening but watching the day-to-day life of the main characters makes them matter all the more and the climax of the film all the more memorable.
