Au revoir les enfants (Goodbye, Children) - 1987

Monday, September 15
8:00pm Alice Cook House Seminar Room

Directed by Louis Malle, with Gaspard Manesse, Raphael Fejtö.

From the Criterion Collection:
Au revoir les enfants tells a heartbreaking story of friendship and devastating loss between two boys living in Nazi-occupied France. At a provincial Catholic boarding school, the precocious youths enjoy true camaraderie—until a secret is revealed. Based on events from writer-director Malle’s own childhood, the film is a subtle, precisely observed tale of courage, cowardice, and tragic awakening.
