Warning: Spoilers
Movies about the Second World War are some of the favorite subjects of writers and directors, movies about the Holocaust, some very beautiful, such as "The Pianist" or "Schindler's List" which are two monuments of cinema, but these films deal with the Holocaust in Poland or in the German camps but movies on the politics of the government of Petain and the Holocaust in France, and thus represented by the Vel d'Hiv, there are very few of them and it can be said that this one is successful, denouncing a face very often hidden but especially very black History (with a large H) of France, showing Jews living on French territory expelled and deported, believing they are directed to a Jewish territory while they are directed only to extermination camps. The film is historically interesting and poignant, a success that deserves 7/10. A French film about a French shame.
