The Round Up - La Rafle (original title)
On Tuesday, July 24th, come enjoy a French movie at the Alliance Française!
1942. Joseph is eleven. And this June morning, he must go to school, a yellow star sewn on his chest. He receives the support of a goods dealer. The mockery of a baker. Between kindness and contempt, Jo, his Jewish friends, their families, learn of life in an occupied Paris, on the Butte Montmartre, where they've taken shelter. At least that's what they think, until that morning on July 16th 1942, when their fragile happiness is toppled over. From the Vélodrome D'Hiver, where 13 000 Jews are crammed, to the camp of Beaune-La Rolande, from Vichy to the terrace of the Berghof, La Rafle follows the real destinies of the victims and the executioners.
Drama, History, War - 1h55 - English subtitles. Directed by Rose Bosch. With Jean Reno, Mélanie Laurent and Gad Elmaleh.
The movie is free but we appreciate a donation of $5 for a glass of wine. Come enjoy a convivial moment with us!
