"Few directors have portrayed the agonies and epiphanies of growsing up as poetically---and controversially---as Louis Malle. Laced with autobiographical details, Murmur of the heart, Lacombe, Lucien, and Au revoir les enfants tell stories of youth, set against the tumult of World War II and postwar France. Tragic, amusing, and poignant, these three films are more than just coming-of-age stories. They are the director's ongong response to a world gone wrong."--Container.

"Louis Malle remains one of the most well-loved, and well-regarded French film makers from the 1960s right through to the 1990s. This collector's triple-pack compiles Le Souffle Au Coeur, Lacombe Lucien and Au Revoir les Enfants. In "Malle: The Early Years" the director's skills were developing. Later on, a more confident director, he began to make more autobiographical films. Films about youth, and the moral choices that litter the pre-adult years"--Container.
