Plot/Synopsis:
The harrowing true story of how French police rounded up civilian Jews living in Paris in order to send 13,000 men, women and children to their deaths at Auschwitz is given an accurate, sometimes wrenching and occasionally overly theatrical treatment in The Round Up (La Rafle). Demonstrating exactly how French authorities pandered to the Nazis, this ambitious period drama boasts a prestige cast that should help draw local audiences to an uncomfortable subject.
Producer Ilan Goldman, who gambled and won on La Vie En Rose, has taken on a difficult slice of French history. Apart from 1973’s Les Guichets du Louvre (Black Thursday) and Joseph Losey’s Monsieur Klein, dramatic attempts to address the so-called Vel d’Hiv roundup of July 16, 1942 are virtually non-existent. Not unlike Andrzej Wajda’s Katyn, which set the record straight about another wartime travesty long ignored, The Round Up doggedly relates the morning raid and its aftermath in human terms.
