'Colette' revisits World War II trauma and wins Academy Award for best documentary short

ENCORE! © FRANCE 24

In just 24 minutes, the charismatic and courageous "Colette" reminds us just how close, and how personal, Second World War history can be. This concise, powerful film saw producer Alice Doyard and director Anthony Giacchino pick up this year's Academy Award for best documentary short. Alice tells us more about working with former resistant Colette to prepare a trip to the Nazi camp where her brother died in 1945.

Film critic Lisa Nesselson also takes us through the best of the week's streaming and DVD releases, including a fun-filled father-daughter animated feature and the re-issue of three of Roman Polanski's acclaimed early films.
