See more 07/03/2020 Un sac de billes is a moving Story of two Jewish Brothers and how they try to survive by themselves, the two Protagonists have done a fantastic Job, the Adapted Story Screenplay was great, and the Director of Photography/Cinematographer has done an absolutely amazing Job. Although I think the Character Development of the main Protagonist wasn't that good and Sometimes the Atmosphere feels somehow a bit too happy for such a Scary Theme. But I was really Entertained and had a great Time watching the Movie.
