Product Description

Julia Jarmond (Kristin Scott Thomas), an American journalist married to a Frenchman, is commissioned to write an article about the notorious Vel d’Hiv round up, which took place in Paris, in 1942. She stumbles upon a family secret which will link her forever to the destiny of a young Jewish girl, Sarah. Julia learns that the apartment she and her husband Bertrand plan to move into was acquired by Bertrand’s family when its Jewish occupants were dispossessed and deported 60 years before. She resolves to find out what happened to the former occupants: Wladyslaw and Rywka Starzynski, parents of 10-year-old Sarah and four-year-old Michel. The more Julia discovers - especially about Sarah, the only member of the Starzynski family to survive - the more she uncovers about Bertrand’s family, about France and, finally, herself.

Sarah’s Key is based on the book by Tatiana de Rosnay.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful rendition of a great book into a touching movie
    Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    After reading an amazing book I had doubts about the movie but I was not disappointed. This is a story about how the French dealt with the Jewish problem during the ravages of WW II. There has not been a great deal written or revealed about how the French acted so I was especially curious because I always thought the horrors were driven by the Germans pretty much. They forced their will onto other countries who didn't want to cooperate with the elimination of the Jews. However, there was a large portion of the French police and population who were equally as atrocious as were the Germans themselves.

    This isn't a gory, bloody movie. Many of the scenes you would anticipate being difficult to watch are but the degree of reality is sensored somewhat. What happens is left to the imagination rather than being portrayed in full blown horror.

    The story deals in flashback but essentially it devotes a major portion to what happens AFTER the critical events. It's a study in relationships and how the past has an intriguing way of penetrating the present. Kristin Scott Thomas holds the entire story line together with her capable interpretation and illuminates the story. There are really no surprises but the details unfold to underscore how easily lives from different generations affect each other. I had read the book a couple years ago and had forgotten some of the minor characters. As in many Hollywood renditions I do think a few liberties were taken in order for the story to fall into place but it is very well done. If you have ever watched a movie and when the end is reached you feel a sense of satisfaction then this film qualifies. The story is a sad one but there is a sort of redemption of sorts not to whitewash the impact but to reassure. I have always found the Holocaust impossible to imagine but it happened. This movie is the kind that reflects man's inhumanity to man but it concludes in a bit of triumph rather than complete devastation. On the proverbial scale of 1 to 10, "Sarah's Key" earns a definite 8.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A big surprise in such a small package
    Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Enough of those who reviewed have given the synopsis of the story, so I will focus on my experience of the movie...
    I picked it up on a whim, not having read the book or even having heard of it. I looked it over briefly, concluding that it was a mild mystery story that invites you, the viewer, to participate in a manner that could be a more serious version of clue. I cannot explain why that thought came to me, but it was enough to come home and purchase it on Amazon the next time I was online.
    I watched it two days ago and it lingers in my consciousness even now... Haunting and well done, I think, and while not what I expected, it exceeded my anticipation of a moderately entertaining movie-evening. I have placed it on my topmost shelf of collected movies... I do not feel qualified to judge what might be a best movie or award winning, but it is thought and emotion provoking, causing me to reflect upon people I've known in my life and what their own stories might be. Being a research-historian, I am drawn to such things anyway... I can relate to Julia's interest/obsession. This will explain why I feel, even in a small way, connected to the story. But the filme makes it believable and I heartily encourage you to experience it even if only once.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Lesson For The Kids
    Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    This movie is not just one of the best movies of 2011 but of all time. This movie did not just beautifully tell the tale of the Jews in Europe during WWII, it illustrated how wrong it is for one group of human beings to hate another group of different human beings.

    As I have read about and watched the plight of the Jews in Movies, I have always viewed Jews as Jews (not us), when the terrible truth is that we are all just human beings, each as important as the other. This was the first story telling vehicle (out of so many) to make me realize that.

    Aside from that most important life lesson, the movie was perfect and beautiful in everyway - filmed, acted, directed, edited, scored, and with stories of today's investigative reporter and WWII holocaust woven together most skillfully.

    I am a person of Scotch, Irish, German, and English descent yet I loved this movie at least as much as any of the great ones that I have seen. I cried during this movie as I realized that the younger generations who could really benefit from seeing this probably won't.

    For those of you who love Kristin Scott Thomas, she does not disappoint here. She is supported by a yeoman class of veteran supporting actors.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A different kind of Holocaust movie
    Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Two things make this film unique for me. The first is that it examines the willing culpability of a group separate from the Nazis - in this case, the French government. The suffering the French government inflicted upon its own citizens - all in the name of ethnic cleansing - is shocking, heartbreaking and all too-familiarly horrifying in its execution. Sadly the French were far from alone in such actions.

    However, the most important point that this film illustrates is the post-traumatic aftermath of such human suffering. Despite the loving support of her adopted French family and the subsequent love of a caring, doting husband and precious son, Sarah could not overcome or come to terms with the pain and loss she endured during the Holocaust. Like with the brilliant and prolific, Primo Levi, the horror of those experiences was simply too much to bear.

    The film is wonderful in the telling of the story and its current-day impact on those who previously felt they had no connection with those events of 60+ years ago. But, ultimately, it's Sarah's story: of loss, of attempted rebuilding and ultimate self-sacrifice in the face of such overwhelming trauma. It is not an uncommon story in Holocaust history, but one which rarely gets addressed. Here, it is done with courage and thoughtfulness.

    5.0 out of 5 stars "Ich komm dich holen"- die Geschichte ist nicht vorbei
    Reviewed in Germany on February 24, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Am 16. Juli 1942 pochen Unbekannte energisch an die Wohnungstür der Starzynskis im Pariser Stadtteil Marais, dem damaligen Zentrum jüdischen Lebens in der französischen Hauptstadt. Um ihren kleinen Bruder Michel zu beschützen, sperrt die aufgeweckte Sarah, selbst noch ein Kind, ihn in einen Wandschrank, schließt ab und verspricht Michel: "Ich komm dich holen!" Gleich danach wird sie mit ihren Eltern von Franzosen, die mit Nazideutschland kollaborierten, aus dem Haus vertrieben und im Velodrom zusammen mit 13000 französischen Juden, über 4000 davon Kinder, unter unhaltbaren hygienischen Zuständen interniert.

    57 Jahre später will die Journalistin Julia (Kristin Scott Thomas) mit ihrer Familie im Stadtteil Marais eine im Familienbesitz befindliche Wohnung von Grund auf sanieren und beziehen, und beruflich recherchiert sie zu der Kollaboration der französischen Behörden mit dem Regime der Nationalsozialisten. Dabei stößt sie darauf, dass die Wohnung, die ihr neues Zuhause werden soll, wohl einmal von einer Familie jüdischen Glaubens bewohnt worden war. Sie möchte erfahren, wer diese Familie war und gräbt nach und nach Sarahs Geschichte um den Schlüssel aus.

    Dieser Film wagt einen weiten Brückenschlag und wirkt keineswegs so konstruiert wie sich die Geschichte zunächst anhören mag. Er arbeitet mit vielen Personen aus unterschiedlichen Generationen sowie Zeitsprüngen und verlangt deswegen Konzentration ab. Außerdem sind viele Wendungen und eine große Amplitude an Gefühlen für alle Protagonisten eingebaut, die von den detailliert geschilderten Schreckenserlebnissen 1942 bis in die Alltagsproblembereiche der Neuzeit reichen, ohne dass der Film überfrachtet worden wäre.

    Historisch vielleicht Wissenswertes:
    An der Stelle, an der sich damals das Velodrom befand, steht heute das Innenministerium.
    Von 1942 bis 1944 wurden aus Frankreich 76000 Menschen mit 76 Zügen deportiert. 2500 Menschen überlebten.
    Erst im Jahr 1995 erkannte die damalige Französische Regierung unter Jacques Chirac offiziell die Verantwortung Frankreichs für die Verschleppungen und Verfolgungen in Frankreich ab 1939 an.

    Die Autorin des zugrunde liegenden gleichnamigen Buches, Tatiana de Rosnay, schrieb dieses Buch in englischer Sprache, obwohl sie sonst auf Französisch schreibt. Sie suchte zwei Jahre lang vergeblich einen Verlag. Dann meldete sich ein Verleger, dem sie das Manuskript fast nicht geschickt hätte, weil sie nicht mehr an einen Abnehmer geglaubt hatte, und der Regisseur Gilles Paquet-Brenner bekundete Interesse an einer Verfilmung.

    Was für eine glückliche Fügung, denn "Sarahs Schlüssel" ist ein großartiger, gefühlvoller und intensiver Film, der Historie und zwei Familiengeschichten über Generationen hinweg elegant verzahnt und sehr berührt, monumental, aber nie verkitscht. Deswegen vergebe ich begeistert 5 Sterne!
