Fanny’s Journey 2016
- Director: Lola Doillon
- Based on the book by Fanny
Ben-Ami
- Cast: Léonie Souchaud and many
wonderful child actors
- Personal “oh yeah him/her”
reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
- Why? The subject
- Seen: 7 December 2023
Thirteen-year-old Fanny (Souchaud) and
her two little sisters flee with a group of Jewish children from one place to
another as the Nazis take over more and more of France. The adults helping them
are betrayed by other adults and are forced to abandon them and Fanny finds
herself the leader. Through train stations and meadows, up and down mountains,
through forests, they face hunger, fear, capture and danger. The smaller
children can hardly keep up. They complain, and cry and whine. They also burst
out in childish laughter and play.
It’s a wonderful film, these young actors
are phenomenal.
