Lacombe Lucien
Louis Malle's film brilliantly relates the story of a young opportunist French peasant, who joins the Gestapo during the Nazi occupation. Despite being a collaborator he falls in love with Sadie, the daughter of a Jewish tailor, with profound effects on her family. A subtle, complex tale of guilt, innocence and the amorality of power.
