Operation Finale (2018)



A team of secret agents set out to track down the Nazi officer who masterminded the Holocaust.

Due to good production, period detail and an appropriate ensemble this is a watchable, but not too sophisticated depcition of the historical events.

Violette (2013)


Violette Leduc, born a bastard at the beginning of last century, meets Simone de Beauvoir in the years after the war in St-Germain-des-Prés. Then begins an intense relationship between the two women that will last throughout their lives.

Strong period biodrama with an excellent ensemble, especially Emmanuelle Devos in the title role credibly portraying the troubled, but talented author.
