Blu-Ray Review: Louis Malle’s Heartbreaking ‘Au Revoir Les Enfants’
Submitted by mattmovieman on March 23, 2011 - 3:08pmCHICAGO – It’s difficult to find a thematic trilogy with a conclusion as triumphant and potent as “Au Revoir Les Enfants.” The 1987 fact-based drama emerged as one of the great masterpieces in the career of Louis Malle, a giant of the French New Wave perhaps best known for his intimate two-character piece, 1981’s “My Dinner With Andre.” His films possess a purity and authenticity unmatched by many of his peers.
