Winner of the Venice Film Festival's Golden Lion Award for 1987, Louis Malle's Au revoir les enfants has been acclaimed as a masterpiece wherever it has been shown. One of the great filmmakers of our time, Malle both wrote and directed this delicate and heartbreaking portrait of a friendship -- between Julian, a Catholic boy, and his schoolmate Jean, one of several Jewish children being sheltered at a boarding school during the Nazi occupation of France. It is once a moving, unforgettable story and an evocation of a deeply personal formative experience in Malle's life.

Malle, Louis was born on October 30, 1932 in Thumeries, France. Son of Pierre and Francoise (Beghin) Malle.
A student at IDHEC, Malle participated on Cousteau’s voyages for several years and was then assistant to Robert Bresson on Un Condamné à Mort s’est Echappé (56).
Ascenseur pour L’Echafaud was a good thriller, though without the moral undertones in Chabrol’s films, that wore its Miles Davis score rather modishly. Les Amants was a claustrophobic exercise in passion disrupting the bourgeoisie, foolishly proclaimed in its time for sexual candor but as cold as plastic flowers and with a fatal, world-weary slowness. It was also one of Jeanne Moreau’s few heartless pictures. It may have been the eye for polite taste that suggested Les Amants; it was certainly a search for intellectual respectability that prompted Zazie, a crushingly unfunny film. Vie Privée, made with American money, was an opportunist decoration on Brigitte Bardot’s own life, helpless with the limits of the woman and driven to an awful mock-operatic ending.
Only two films stand out from this persistent cheating. Le Feu Follet, based on a novel by Drieu la Rochelle, penetrates a man’s advance on suicide. This mood of pessimism is more compelling still in Le Voleur, Malle’s best French film, a studv of chronic theft as a response to social decay. It thrives on the abrupt laeonieism of Belmondo and ends with one character saying, “Life seems so cold . . . We are surrounded by madness ... It is so wearying.” It is the most revealing moment in Malle’s work, even if the other films might suggest it was only glib fatalism.
Pretty Baby was Malle’s American debut, rich with the promise of a piquant subject, Sven Nykvist as photographer, and the eerie poise of Brooke Shields. It probably trapped itself in that it had to be timid to protect the child actress from charges of pornography and exploitation. The interior atmosphere of the brothel from the child’s point of view was managed very well, but caution and taste smothered the city of New Orleans, the jazz, and the trade of sex. Worse, the beguiling topic of a photographer who can only make love with a lens was thrown away.
In his last years, Malle won a reputation as a smart. but discerning “international” director. Atlantic City is a droll, noirish picture, and My Dinner with Andre was deemed a model of piquant originality in its day. But does anyone want to see it again? In recollection, it seems a meal to avoid, the meeting of two fabricated creatures, caught in a conversation enough to take away one’s appetite. Even Atlantic City suffers a little from the cutes—and benefits from its writer, John Guare, from the raf fish, aging heroics of Burt Lancaster, and the lemony fragrance of Susan Sarandon (who was Malle’s squeeze at the time).
Crackers and Alamo Bay are mistakes, without touch or understanding. Au Revoir les Enfants is Malle at his best in its story of children, Jewishness, loyalty, and betrayal during the war. May Fools is a sidebar, and Damage is a meretricious horror novel dressed up as something momentous. There is something subservient in Malle’s devotion to its very nasty, rigged plot and to its hollow people. As so often, Malle seemed like a minor figure with pretensions to mastery. His eminence spoke to grave shortages of competition.

Assistant to Jacques Cousteau, 1953-1955. Co-producer The Silent World, 1955 (Palme d'Or, Cannes International Film Festival). Technical collaborator with Robert Bresson for Un condamne a mort s'est echappe.Director films Ascenseur pour l'echafaud, 1957 (Prix Louis-Delluc 1958), Les Amants, 1958 (Special Jury prize Venice Film Festival 1968), Zazie dans le metro, 1960, Vie Privee, 1962, Le Feu Follet (Special Jury prize Venice Film Festival 1963), Viva Maria, 1965, La Voleur, 1966, William Wilson, 1967, Le Souffle au Coeur, 1971, Lacomb Lucien, 1973, Black Moon, 1975, Pretty Baby, 1978, Atlantic City, 1980, My Dinner with Andre, 1980, Crackers, 1984, Alamo Bay, 1985, Au Revoir Les Enfants (Directing honors British Academy Film and television Arts), 1987, Milov En Mai, 1990, Damage, 1992, Vanya on 42nd Street, 1994. Also television short subjects India, 1970.
Although he began to work at the same time as the New Wave directors, he was a speculative, conventional talent: sophisticated and polished, but moving rather aimlessly from one subject to another, only rarely discovering more than entertainment in his films. Too often, his choice of material was overambitions or fashionable, and his working out of human situations melodramatic. At worst, he had a taste for glossy, commercial packages that masquerade as artiness, and it seemed reasonable to regard him as the successor to such proficient but shallow directors as Autant-Lara and Duvivier.
Malle captured huge audiences with his idiotic pairing of Bardot and Moreau in Viva Maria!, a silly extravaganza that was exactly the sort of “modern film” required bv audiences frightened of Godard and Rohmer. His Indian documentaries, including a series of films shot for telexision, showed his visual elegance but offended many Indians with their superficial criticism of the country. The most glaring crack in Malles output is the meretricious Lc Souffle au Coeur, a sub-Truffaut study of youth in the 1950s, full of accurate detail and not without charm or humor, but ruined by its dependence on an unconvincing and rosily conveyed moment of incest.
