La Rafle

France Jean Reno

Powerful fictional account of the seizure, evacuation and eventual murder of thousands of Parisian Jews in 1942. Their first stop was the Velodrome which was beautifully wrought here.

The film was designed to tug at your heartstrings and it did. Even the French collaborateurs were given several dimensions. A quality production by any measure.

Aspects of this story have been told many times but this one miraculously made it seem fresh. Kudos.
