Au revoir les enfants tells a heartbreaking story of friendship and devastating loss concerning two boys living in Nazi-occupied France. At a provincial Catholic boarding school, the precocious youths enjoy true camaraderie—until a secret is revealed. Based on events from writer-director Malle’s own childhood, the film is a subtle, precisely observed tale of courage, cowardice, and tragic awakening.

Release Notes on Restoration
Au revoir les enfants
Au revoir les enfants is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.66:1. On standard 4:3 televisions the image will appear letterboxed. On standard and widescreen televisions, black bars may appear on the left and right to maintain the proper screen format. Supervised and approved by director of photography Renato Berta, this digital transfer was created on a Spirit Datacine in 2K resolution from the original 35mm camera negative, and color corrected on a Specter Virtual Datacine with Pandora color correction. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, scratches, splices, warps, jitter, and flicker were manually removed using MTI's DRS system and Pixel Farm's PFClean system, while Digital Vision's DVNR system was used for small dirt, grain, and noise reduction.
The monaural soundtrack was remastered at 24-bit from a 35mm magnetic track. Clicks, thumps, hiss, and hum were manually removed using Pro Tools HD. Crackle was attenuated using AudioCube's integrated workstation.
