Louis Malle: Youth and Conflict ( Lacombe Lucien; Au Revoir, Les Enfants )
Louis Malle remains one of the most well-loved, and well-regarded French film makers from the 1960s right through to the 1990s. This double-pack compiles (1971), "Lacombe Lucien" (1974) and "Au Revoir, Les Enfants" ("Goodbye, Children") (1987). In "Malle: The Early Years" the director's skills were developing. Later on, a more confident director, he began to make more autobiographical films. Films about youth, and the moral choices that litter the pre-adult years.
