About this product
Product Information
A tragic and shameful moment in French history continues to have consequences in the present day in this screen adaptation of the novel by Tatiana de Rosnay. Julia Jarmond (Kristin Scott Thomas) is an American writer living in Paris with her husband, Bertrand (Frederic Pierrot), an architect who is restoring a block of apartments in Paris owned by his family. Julia learns that Bertrand's family obtained the building through less than honorable means; the original owners were Jews who were forced to sell in the wake of the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup in 1942, when the Nazi-affiliated Vichy government arrested over 13,000 Parisian Jews. One of the victims was Sarah Starzynski (Melusine Mayance), a ten-year-old girl who tried to protect her younger brother by locking him in a cupboard in their apartment. Fearing for her brother's safety, Sarah escapes the crowded cycling stadium where the Jews are being held and tries to make her way back home. Julia learns of Sarah's story while doing research on the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup, and her investigation teaches her a great deal about an event many in France are reluctant to discuss, as well as the links to Bertrand's family.Product Identifiers

Sarah's Key (DVD)
Sarah's Key is a fascinating story (based on the book) about a woman who, while living in Paris, obtained a flat from her husband's family that was actually originally stolen from its Jewish occupants during the Nazi occupation of France in the second world war, by their willing French collaborators. Sarah was the little Jewish girl who was living in the flat when the French Nazis forcibly removed her and her family, deporting them (with thousands of other women and children, and any men left who had not already been "deported" to be used as forced labour..) - I can't say any more about the movie without spoiling the plot for those who haven't seen it, but what I can say is that I was glued from start to finish, and extremely moved by this movie. Half of it is in English, the other in French with English subtitles - don't let this put you off watching this film by any means - it only adds to the authenticity of the story. An easy 5☆ rating from me - FAB FILM XVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Extremely well acted but a disappointing adaptation of a tragic story.
Having recently read the book, I wanted to see the film to see how this tragic story was dealt with and especially as Kristin Scott Thomas was the lead star in the movie. However, I was disappointed in the movie as so much had been left out which rather destroyed the story and the message. However, it might be good to watch the film before reading the book as an "appetiser".Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
