The Two of Us

The Two of Us (1968) starring Michel Simon, Alain Cohen, Luce Fabiole. During World War II in France, a young Jewish boy (Cohen) is sent to live in the country with an older couple. His parents instruct him to pretend to be Catholic, and he calls the older couple Grandpa and Grandma. The twist is that Grandpa (Simon) is an anti-Semite and tells the young boy all kinds of rubbish about Jews. The boy takes it in good  spirit, though, and forms a close and loving relationship with "Grandpa." The movie is based on the director's real-life boyhood during WWII, and that gives the film all the more poignancy. I liked it. (In French, with English subtitles.) Grade: A-
