Un Secret

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

This 2007 film from Claude Miller is taken from an autobiographical novel and follows the lives of a family and their friends through the darkness of WW2 falling down around them in France. They are Jewish.
Much of it is seen through the eyes of a child.
The film is leisurely even slow and for a while I thought it not that interesting.
But its quiet insistence, its showing of the choices made or forced and their the consequences is captivating.
I won't give the plot away but it is a film of inner strength and what people will do when offered a chance in the face of the darkness that something like Nazism brings.
A small film of the little gestures and the close up.
Not the greatest film of all time, not, probably of the year, but a film of muted colours, of humanity and a film you can think about, talk about for some time afterwards.
