Sarah

Sarah, is a noun, a symbol, one of the Jewish victims of World War II. I like this film for two reasons:
one is the attitude towards history. Three families in three countries are strung together because of sarah, and no one shies away or faces this personal history with indifference. Personal attitudes reflect national attitudes, including the apology of former French President Chirac on behalf of France for what France did to the Jews during World War II.

Second, I appreciate the level of photography. I don't watch many French films, mostly long dialogue or French humor, but this film is very tense and well-balanced. That kind of grief and sadness do not need to cry out to interpret, the kind of love of relatives does not need to shout to prove. That restrained sadness is easier to move.

Elle s'appelait Sarah quotes

  • Julia Jarmond: And so I write this for you, My Sarah. With the hope that one day, when you're old enough, this story that lives with me, will live with you as well. When a story is told, it is not forgotten. It becomes something else, a memory of who we were; the hope of what we can become.
