9 / 10 I was dumb struck when I first saw this film. I used the final phrase of the head friar Au revoir les enfants when I leave a group of people. Haunting and the voice over at the end was chilling.
My Movie Rating: 10 / 10

10 / 10 Also see Malle's Lacombe, Lucien, a remarkably good film about a rather stupid and cruel youth in rural southern France who joins the German police and becomes involved with a Jewish girl.
