A SECRET

in 2009 Films & Events

Savoy Theater
In Claude Miller’s haunting film, a Jewish boy growing up in postwar France tries to understand how his parents survived the Holocaust. “The film is called A SECRET, but the gist of this story of repression and family tragedy is that secrets are rarely singular; what is hidden from sight and excluded from discussion has a tendency to multiply and expand. Even as factual questions are answered, and the basic curiosity of both the audience and the main character is satisfied, A SECRET leaves in place a sense that something horribly and splendidly strange can lie under the surface of ordinary experience.” Starring Cecile De France and Matthieu Amalric. (A. O. Scott, The New York Times) 105 minutes, in French with subtitles. Sponsored by Washington Electric Co-op. Community Partners: Beth Jacob Synagogue, Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Review
