Title: Help me identify a film by Louis Malle
Post by: Papageno on November 27, 2007, 03:42:46 AM
Anyone familiar with the autobiography-inspired trilogy by Louis Malle? One film about his childhood where there is an implied sexual relationship with his mother and another film where he is an alcoholic and commits suicide.
Anyone know the titles?

I know the first two of these are autobiographical - and I believe that Lacombe, Lucien is the third of the so-called trilogy

Au Revoir Les Enfants
Le Souffle au coeur
Lacombe, Lucien

Le Feu follet (don't know if that is autobiographical though)
