Heartbreaking.. I couldn’t believe what I saw
Le garçon au pyjama rayé est un film extrêmement touchant. Je pense que le fait que le film soit perçu par des enfants, rend l’emotion encore plus intense. Je trouvais juste que le film n’etait pas assez axé sur les violences nazies. Neanmoins, la fin est très touchante ! Super film!
