This film is regarded as a masterpiece of French New Wave. You definitely have to see it to understand why. Its a totally new experience tryin to watch this film, if u r a movie buff..
Most films move with a plot, every scene has its reason....its as if Godard was rebelling against this issue in this movie...The plot is a simple one...If u watch movies..you must have seen tons of films on this plot....But throughout the movie, the plot doesn't just progress...it shows a piece of life...If we think deeply, not everything in life happens for a reason...most events around us dnt help in any way with the progress of life...if films are a mirror of life, then y shouldnt it be the same thr?
The starting itself is a masterpiece. It will take you some time to understand wots goin on just as a third person would have to if he/she tries to peep into somebody else's life...The camera too moves in such a fashion...
If you respect originality...definitely watch this movie...
Overall 9/10
Direction 9/10

Au revoir, les enfants (1987) [French]
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092593/
This movie is in the Criterion Collection. So probably doesnt many words of praise. It is an outstanding movie about the 2nd world war seen through a different angle: through priests and children in a boarding school.
A serious movie though.
Rating: 8/10
