Lacombe, Lucien

Louis Malle

WATCH NOW

NOT AVAILABLE

COMING SOON

Until 31 January

Lacombe, Lucien is an eloquently unadorned study of an individual caught in the crossfire of political pressures. The titular Lucien is a 17-year-old working in a hospital in occupied France, morally disengaged from the war around him but everywhere affected by its incursions on everyday life. Louis Malle’s film depicts the complex, unheroic reality of history experienced at ground level.
