A Bag of Marbles (French: Un sac de billes) is a 1975 French film based on the 1973 autobiographical novel Un sac de billes by Joseph Joffo.[1] Doillon made use of mainly non-professional actors, as also in his next film with children, La Drôlesse (1979).
Among the non-professional actors, the father - who is captured and sent to Auschwitz - is played by Jo Goldenberg, owner of the famous deli at 7, Rue des Rosiers in Paris's Jewish district, which 7 years after the film was the site of the Chez Jo Goldenberg restaurant attack.

Directed by Jacques Doillon, it is really the story of Joseph (Richard Constantini), tracing his development from incapacitating fear to first love and courageous action."
