And you thought having Harvey Weinstein out of the way meant an end to simple-minded holocaust movies? The adventure continues when young Jewish brothers (Dorian Le Clech and Batyste Fleurial) living in occupied France are forced to leave their family home (and gold stars) behind and embark on the thrill of a lifetime: trying to escape mean old Nazi persecutors. Just think! No parents. No School. Surf and sun. There’s even a career for the lads in black market sales. Hey, this fleeing the Nazis stuff can be fun! When the frivolity gets to be too much, somber flashbacks act to enlighten the uninformed on just how tough Nazi tyranny can be. From director Christian Duguay — the same gladsome soul whose sentimental take on genocide rewarded devotees of bad cinema with the unintentional knee-slapper Belle and Sebastian — comes another chapter in his “Holocaust for Dummies” chronicle. Spoiler alert: any child who learned about the Holocaust by watching a fictional film had shit for teachers. (2017) — Scott Marks
