About This Movie

Au Revoir les Enfants is a 1987 drama and war film directed by Louis Malle. Its leading cast includes Gaspard Manesse, Raphael Fejtö and Francine Racette. It runs for 1 hour 45 minutes. Its original language is French.

Synopsis

Au revoir les enfants tells a heartbreaking story of friendship and devastating loss concerning 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.
