A love to Hide-Award Winning Movie

The following is an award-winning French movie with English sub title. I hope you enjoy this movie with a controversial AND HISTORICAL theme.

A young Jewish woman, Sarah, is hidden by a friend, Jean Lavandier, Philippe and his companion, after his family was killed by the SS . It is used in the laundry run by the family Lavandier. Jacques, the brother of John, released from prison. By jealousy, he arrested his brother, but imagine the consequences: John Gay, is wrongly accused of being the lover of a German officer, and deported to a concentration camp.

Comments and controversies: This is not Christian Faure first movie on the topic of homosexuality. He also made ​​just a "Question of Love",a movie telling a love story between two young men and broadcast on France in 2000.

This is one of the only movies currently on the deportation of homosexuals during the Second World War. The subject of the film echoed the recognition by President Jacques Chirac of the deportation of homosexuals in France: "We are here to remember that the Nazi madness wanted to eliminate the weakest, most vulnerable, those affected by disability including the very existence was an affront to their conception of man and society. In Germany, but also in our area, those that distinguish their personal lives, I think homosexuals were pursued, arrested and deported."

The observatory, as some headlines gay French, question the credibility of Jean Le Bitoux, reference history of film. He accuses the film of "supporting the thesis of an orchestrated by homosexual deportation of Vichy France "after it took place only in the territories annexed by the Reich. The observatory, however, recognizes that if the Germans viewed homosexuality as inferior peoples benefit the German people. It has never sought to purge France of its gay. It was not the same when German officers were involved, which is precisely the case of the film and makes it so plausible fiction. These accusations seem to ignore the explanations given by a gay man deported from Alsace in the hero's arrival at Drancy. There is indeed fiction, but on historical grounds not falsified as alleged by the unsigned article of the Observatory. However, for the historian Pierre Vidal-Naquet, this anachronism "is perhaps not revisionism, but a lie" .
