French novel adapted into film 'Sarah's Key'
By Karilla Dyer | Oct. 2, 2011Occasionally I like to venture outside of the Hollywood-production bubble and explore what other cultures have to offer in the world of cinema. Foreign films have always been a bit of a risk for me, especially because I'm not always a fan of subtitles, although, my feelings of frustration can be quelled by a truly engrossing story. "Sarah's Key," the film adaptation of Tatiana de Rosnay's novel "Elle s'appeliat Sarah," is a 2010 French drama starring Mèlusine Mayance and "Bitter Moon's" Kristin Scott Thomas. It is an example of a captivating film that should set a standard for all future foreign films.
