Au Revoir les Enfants (1987). A French boarding school run by priests seems to be a haven from World War II until a new student arrives. Occupying the next bed in the dormitory to the top student in his class, the two young boys begin to form a bond.
Devastating on so many levels. This just works, somehow avoiding scenes of overt sentimentality or violence, let leaving you feeling the aching reality of both. Incredible performances from the young cast, lush cinematography, and a script that somehow manages to feel both sprawling and entirely focused. Pretty close to perfect, really. 9/10.

Tragically beautiful
In the nazi occupied France, two boys meet. Louis Malle’s Au revoir les enfants is above all a story of friendship based on his own memories.
Gaspard Manesse plays Julien, a smart and popular boy, that meets his rival, Bonnet. We watch their friendship grow in spite the fact that they are rivals. Little by little, Julien discovers that Bonnet is a jew, and we begin to ask ourselves what he’s going to do with that information.
It’s definitely a unique and more realistic view of life in the nazi occupied France, that shows heroes and villains that are above all humans. A beautiful film about those moments in life that we wish we could’ve done something.
A must watch movie!
