I hadn't accorded this film a second viewing since I acquired my DVD copy of it a year or more ago, but I took it down from the shelf tonight on a whim, and was immediately reminded of what a moving experience it had provided. I looked up the Wikipedia entry concerning Christophe Barratier's film and learned with some surprise about the production difficulties it had experienced because of the outbreak of the Covid 19 pandemic. The credits are worth watching to the end, because the vignette that shows the young boy blowing out the birthday cake candles on his fifteenth birthday is heartwarming to say the least.
