Goodbye Children

Rating: Null/10 (4 October 2001)

Louis Malle's 'Au Revoir Les Efants' is a semi-autobiographical picture. The world of this school in which the story takes place is the crossroads between the innocent, sheltered world of childhood, and the brutal reality of adult life. The tragic conclusion is also a cross between these worlds. The instinctive glance of a child and the betrayals and hatreds of adults. The kids in this film are thrust into maturity by a brutal confrontation with realities of life. Goodbye Children. 10/10
