AU REVOIR, LES ENFANTS on DVD
by Andre Soares
Louis Malle’s autobiographical Au revoir les enfants / Goodbye, Children (1987), is scheduled for a Region 2 (Europe, Japan, South Africa and the Middle East including Egypt) DVD release in France on May 10.
Au revoir les enfants was deservedly nominated for a best foreign-language film Academy Award, as it is one of the best movies dealing with the Nazi persecution of Jews — in this particular instance, as seen through the eyes of boys on the cusp of adolescence. Malle’s intelligent, sensitive original screenplay also received an Oscar nomination.
Other Malle films scheduled to be released on the same date are Zazie dans le métro / Zazie in the Subway (1960) with Catherine Demongeot and Philippe Noiret, the multiple Academy Award-nominee Atlantic City (1980) with Burt Lancaster and Susan Sarandon, and the 6-hour documentary L’Inde Fantôme / Phantom India (1969).
