Sundays and Cybele / Cybèle ou les dimanches de ville d'Avray / Les dimanches de Ville d'Avray (1962)
Drama
Pierre is a Vietnam war veteran, psychologically scarred after killing a child. Cybele is a 12 year-old girl, abandoned by an uncaring father at a small orphanage. After a chance meeting causes Pierre to be mistaken for Cybele's father, they begin a series of Sunday outings together in which they discover a trusting, innocent happiness – though their make-believe world is threatened when a neighbour spots them together and word spreads among Pierre's acquaintances about his illicit relationship. With incredible central performances from Krüger and Gozzi as the two damaged people finding solace and childlike love in each other's companionship, this is a beautiful, heartbreaking tale of the redemptive qualities of love that will live in you long after you have seen it.
