This is my pick this week. Au Revoir Les Infants, a French film, based on the real experiences of the director. Set in German occupied France during WW2 in a boarding school run by priests. A Jewish boy with a fake name is hidden there by the headmaster and takes part in the normal school life, but has several nervous times when German soldiers show up. It's an interesting film based around his friendship with another boy, who discovers he is a Jew, but is unsure of why the Jews should be hated. No sentimentality and worth watching.
