Winner of the Venice Film Festival's Golden Lion Award for 1987, Louis
Malle's Au revoir les enfants has been acclaimed as a masterpiece
wherever it has been shown. One of the great filmmakers of our time,
Malle both wrote and directed this delicate and heartbreaking portrait
of a friendship -- between Julian, a Catholic boy, and his schoolmate
Jean, one of several Jewish children being sheltered at a boarding
school during the Nazi occupation of France. It is once a moving,
unforgettable story and an evocation of a deeply personal formative
experience in Malle's life.
