I watched "Murmur of the Heart" and "Pretty Baby" when I was a teenager. They seemed like they were made for shock value. I guess that's why this is my favorite Louis Malle film. It's autobiographical. It's about a Jew hiding in a boarding school during World War II. The bookish Jew and another boy become friends. However, it is not meant to be. Irene Jacob (from "Red") plays a piano teacher at the school. I felt moved by this movie. A lot of the time I disagree with the choices in the Criterion Collection but not this one.
