JEWISH FILM NIGHT: UN SECRET
Winner of the Grand Prix of the
Americas Prize, Montreal Film Festival 2007
Wednesday, 17th March 2010
French filmmaker Claude Miller expertly weaves together a family history, merging the personal and political, the celebratory and the tragic, while incorporating three distinct time periods. Based on a biographical novel by Philippe Grimbert, "Un Secret" explores the effect of World War II on an extended Parisian Jewish family over the course of a half-century, in the process showing the profound, far-reaching effects of emotional decisions made under extreme external pressures.
