Feat. Alain Cohen, Michel Simon

Aroview: Touching wartime nostalgia, with Michel Simon as a grizzly anti-Semite who befriends a Jewish boy sent to countryside during occupied France.

Claude Berri’s debut film opts for a lighthearted view of circumstances through the difficulties of war, with enough humour and goodwill to leave a warm afterglow.

3 stars (Good Enough) A lovely slice of life that has an air of authenticity. The director sets the scene in occupied territory and leaves it to the viewer to determine how serious the threats from the enemy are. Simon plays an Alf Garnett type character wonderfully well. ~Tubbs
