This January the BFI are re-releasing a title which we thought may be of interest to you.

Louis Malle’s award-winning Au Revoir les Enfants is a semi-autobiographical account of the German Occupation of France during World War Two, which charts the friendship between two 12-year-old boys, one from a wealthy Catholic family, the other a Jew hidden by local priests, his identity concealed. A poignant tale of resistance and a classic of world cinema the film starts its extended run at BFI Southbank with a special screening to coincide with Holocaust Memorial Day (27 January), before opening at cinemas across the UK from Friday 30 January.
