Survivre avec les loups (2007)

English title: Surviving with Wolves

Based on the faux autobiography by Misha Defonseca (b. Monique de Wael), published in 1997.

During World War 2, a Jewish girl is placed with a family living in the country and loses contact with her biological parents. She is then forced to flee her adoptive home and take refuge in the woods. From then on, she wanders from place to place, going through numerous adventures.

Ridiculous Holocaust fantasy which piles one improbable event on top of another while feeding on every cliché ever concocted on the theme and then some. You could say it's a mix of The Jungle Book and The Painted Bird. Only for very undemanding viewers.

Rating: 12
