Featured Comments/Tips
The story of a boy during the Nazi occupation.
oof, this one was a punch to the gut—but in that good way where you're like "wow cinema can DO that?" lucien is such a disturbing little gremlin of a protagonist (affectionate), and the film doesn't let you off easy—his moral ambiguity slaps you across the face for 2 hours. also, the tension between him and france? chefs kiss. not romance. just pure psychological warfare with a side of nazi occupation trauma
