NTSC / Region 0 (All Regions) Korean import. Optional Korean subtitles can be turned off from the main menu. Forbidden Games (French: Jeux interdits), is a 1952 French language film directed by René Clément and based on François Boyer’s novel, Jeux interdits. The film recounts the death of five-year-old Paulette’s parents and of her pet dog while fleeing a Nazi air raid in Paris, France during World War II. In the chaos, the traumatized child meets ten-year-old Michel Dollé whose peasant family will take her in. She quickly becomes attached to Michel as her big brother and the two attempt to cope with the death and destruction that surrounds them by secretly building a small cemetery where they bury her dog and then start to bury other animals, stealing crosses from the local graveyard. While not initially successful in France, it was a hit elsewhere and is still one of the most popular French films in the US. Criterion released the film on DVD in 2005. The film is also notable for its vibrant musical score, composed and performed by legendary Spanish classical guitarist Narciso Yepes.
