Roselyne Bosch writes and directs this French drama based on real events that took place in Paris at the beginning of the Second World War. In July 1942 the French police, under Nazi orders, are rounding up thousands of Jewish men, women and children to transport them to extermination camps in Poland. Told from the perspective of 11-year old Jo Weismann (Hugo Leverdez), the film also stars Jean Reno and Melanie Laurent as medics working with the prisoners - who, while sympathetic to the plight of their patients, are ultimately powerless to save them from the horrific fate that awaits them.
Please note this is a region B Blu-ray and will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play. The Round Up throws a powerful light on one of the most disturbing episodes in recent French history - the few weeks in July 1942 when the French police, at the direction of the Nazis, rounded up more than 13,000 Parisian Jews, including more than 4,000 children, and took them to the now notorious Velodrome d'Hiver stadium. A powerful and extremely gripping story ignored until relatively recently, The Round Up is brilliantly directed by Rose Bosche and features a stunning cast including Jean Reno (The Da Vinci Code) and Mélanie Laurent (Inglorious Basterds).
