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.

New York


Broadway, south of Bleeker Street, September 28, 1913

First Lines: Gail Carson Levine - Ella Enchanted


That fool of a fairy Lucinda did not intend to lay a curse on me.

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.
