‘War of Buttons’ Movie Trailer and Photos with Guillaume Canet

Here is the trailer and three photos from French film War of Buttons which stars Guillaume Canet, Laetitia Casta, Jean Texier, Ilona Bachelier and is directed by Christophe Barratier.

Set in occupied WWII France, War of the Buttons tells the tale of pre-teen rebel Lebrac (newcomer Jean Texier) and the “war” he leads between two rival kid gangs from neighboring villages. Once Lebrac falls for Violette (Ilona Bachelier), a young Jewish girl who is new in town and in danger of being exposed by the Nazis, the children are faced with putting their own conflicts aside to protect her and confront the very real war happening around them.

The movie will be released to theaters on July 18, 2012. You can find all our coverage of War of Buttons here.
