With an introduction and post-show Q&A with Film Historian John Martello!
Delicate, beautifully paced…deeply moving and darkly comic…Among the finest performances ever given by children. Philip French, The Guardian. While fleeing Paris during the German invasion, 5-year-old Paulette sees her parents killed by an air strike. She wanders into the countryside and meets 11-year-old Michel and his family who take Paulette in. The children build a special, secret friendship while the adults play at buffoonish feuds. Winner of almost every conceivable film award in 1952, it has not been shown much in the last few decades, and we will be showing a new 4K restoration by Rialto Pictures.
