Arabian nights

By the way, that SEVEN movies this weekend I alluded to before? That's just in theaters; that doesn't count the ones I watch at home.

Au revoir les enfants

(1987)

Another beautiful (and semiautobiographical) work from Louis Malle, set in a Carmelite boys' school whose principal risks everything to shelter Jews from Germans and collaborators in 1944. For the protagonist, the Malle-equivalent, the stake is merely friendship, much more than life and death.
