During the winter of 1943-44, Julien Quentin, a student at a Carmelite boarding school in occupied France, is returning to school from vacation. He acts tough to the students at the school, but he is actually a pampered mother's boy who still wets his bed. Saddened to be returning to the tedium of boarding school, Julien's classes seem uneventful until Père Jean, the headmaster, introduces three new pupils. One of them, Jean Bonnet, is the same age as Julien. Like the other students, Julien at first despises Bonnet, a socially awkward boy with a talent for arithmetic and playing the piano., 2h

Voilà enfin le film de Cousteau et Malle, oscarisé et palme d'Or en 1956 à Cannes, édité en DVD et Blu-ray au niveau de qualité qu'il mérite, qui plus est pour la première fois avec des suppléments !! Tout d'abord le travail de restauration qui a été accompli sur le film est absolument bluffant. Et les suppléments sont inédits, donc intéressants aussi pour ceux qui connaissent le film par coeur.Un documentaire de 50 minutes en HD sur la production du film intitulé « du Silence et des hommes : les pionniers du Monde du Silence ». Le documentaire s'intéresse à la première rencontre entre Louis Malle, alors élève à l'IDHEC et le Commandant Cousteau, le défi technique et humain du film, la Palme d'or à Cannes, la polémique autour du film, qui apparut quelques années plus tard, et les différends au montage entre Malle et Cousteau sur la tonalité globale du film etc., 1h43

Milou's mother dies just as the unrest and strikes are sweeping the country. The events interfere with the plans for a funeral and disrupt the family and a stranded truck driver. The film combines elements of social and interpersonal commentary with farce.
