criterion update:
today i watched au revoir les enfants--another film by louis malle focusing on the turbulent nature of adolescence. this time, however, the turbulence was exacerbated by the film's setting, world war ii france.
i liked the movie. the lead actors were great, especially for being so young. the film was pretty depressing, though i kind of expected this much--most world war ii movies are. something about the bleak nature of war that contrasts nicely with the general minutia being portrayed on screen--a great formula for romance (something i've always felt). you can't have romance without danger or the hint of tragedy.
