The Bigger Picture film club ? ?Au Revoir Les Enfants? (1987) at East Dulwich Tavern on 20 August 20


Recommended Posts

The Bigger Picture film club will be showing ? ?Au Revoir Les Enfants? (1987) at 8pm on Thursday, 20 August 2015, Upstairs at East Dulwich Tavern.


Re-released to mark Holocaust Memorial Day earlier this year, this heartbreaking story based on events from writer-director Malle?s own childhood is a subtle, precisely observed tale of courage, cowardice, and tragic awakening. Set in a provincial Catholic boarding school in Nazi-occupied France, the story follows two boys who enjoy true camaraderie until a devastating secret is revealed. Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian writes: 'It remains breathtakingly good. There is a miraculous, unforced ease and naturalness in the acting and direction; it is classic movie storytelling in the service of important themes, including the farewell that we must bid to our childhood, and to our innocence ? a farewell repeated all our lives in the act of memory.'


Written and directed by Louis Malle
