    As French crime thrillers go, this is about as good as it gets.

    I am not hear to rate Elevator to the Gallows but one of my favorite films by Louis Malle because unfortunately it is not in metacritic. Au Revoir Les Enfants is a tale of two boys and their friendship that develops through struggle and understanding. The story is a beautiful and sad meaning that pops out of Louis Malle's somewhat autobiographical film. Because this is German occupied France their is pain and tragedy sweeping across the nation and all that pain is really connected with these two little boys secret and I will guess that you will just have to find out what that secret is. But this movie has made me think since it's story is so meaningful and proud. But yet you still will think that their is no end to this horrible fate that is to come. Becaue you will be saying at the end of the the film Au Revoir Les Enfants( Goodbye, Children ).… Expand
