Cinemaphiles Unite!

Film is a window on the past, an amplifier for the present and a harbinger of our future. The best way to keep cinema alive is to support it: attend films in theatres, support preservation societies and archives, and never fail to appreciate the importance (and stimulating experience) of viewing films as they were meant to be seen.

Louis Malle's Au Revoir Les Enfants (1987)

After viewing this very moving film, perhaps some of you have had a chance to reflect on it and have some thoughts to express. Feel free to discuss any aspect of the film's production (image, sound, script, performance) or any thoughts on symbolism, story or the cultural context of the film.

SO: Anyone have anything to say? Come on, let's get some discussion happening. Don't be shy.
