      • Trivia
        The first film to deal with the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup and France's responsibility in the deportation of its Jewish citizens to Nazi Germany and was only able to go into production ten years after the script was written, due to its controversial nature. Three later films also go into the events, namely Mr. Klein (1976), The Round Up (2010) and Sarah's Key (2010), the first and last of which through a fictional storyline. The complicity of France was only officially recognized 53 years after the events, in 1995, by President Jacques Chirac.

      Featured review

      Paul and Jeanne

      A testimony about a dark moment of French contemporary history, defined by the context of its apparition.

      A generous young man tries to help Jews in the day of their first step to concentration camps.

      His idealistic gesture seems falls. But a young woman accepts his support and so begines a fascinating adventure to survive. Portraits, gestures, attitudes. More than a good film, Les guichets du louvre represents a manifesto. Not only for remind the atrocious rhytm of a day , the complicity of good ordinary people and the support for young couple from a man at border of law, but for terrible actuality, powerful realism, gentle story and admirable end.

      A film about evil and about the inoble impulse of youth.
