At last!

It's been a long spell for me before seeing a movie as extraordinary as Sarah's Key. This is such a compelling story and an engaging film. I just saw it yesterday and immediately went out and bought the book. Kristen Scott Thomas has the lead role here and seems perfectly suited for it. It involves the roundup and sending to the death camps, Jews in Paris in 1942 by the French! police. This is a modern day quest to determine the truth, a most noble goal, but not easily obtained or appreciated by all, and there are unanticipated consequences. Not to be missed.
