Sarah's Key - Destruction of the Mind

The film begins with Sarah's innocent and bright smile, but after that, her smile is not pure.
About that period of history, perhaps people know more about the death figures in the concentration camps, or the torture of the Jews in the concentration camps. For those who survived, what about their lives?
The young Sarah showed extraordinary intelligence and wit, but in the context of the war, a child's strength was so insignificant that despite all the ups and downs, it also caused irreparable wounds to her heart. The key opened the cupboard, but no key could open the lock of her heart. Perhaps it is because she is too smart, her memory and self-thinking are too persistent, her heart's happiness, remorse, and self-blame accompanied her throughout her life, tormenting her. That kind of mental torture cannot be felt. She fled, left her homeland, changed her surname, betrayed her race, but she couldn't escape the mental torture, which eventually made her unbearable...
The reason for all this was not the key, but history.

Elle s'appelait Sarah quotes

  • Julia Jarmond: And so I write this for you, My Sarah. With the hope that one day, when you're old enough, this story that lives with me, will live with you as well. When a story is told, it is not forgotten. It becomes something else, a memory of who we were; the hope of what we can become.
