"Au Revoir Les Enfants" (1987)



-one of the final moments in this beatiful film

-i would have never guessed Louis Malle directed this one; his films are usually darker

-it is deeply affecting and daringly written

-coming of age is and often explored subject; ive never seen it surrounding the Holocaust except for "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"

-cinematography was beatiful; colors were dim and dark- fitting for the time and subject

-friendship was wonderfully explored, and broken; shows that there are really no bounadries between race or religion
