Toto le Heros -- Believing he was switched in the hospital nursery with a neighborhood boy who then led a privileged life, an embittered old man (Michel Bouquet) recalls his lifelong envy and fantasies about killing the man who ``stole'' his life. Using flashbacks and fantasies, Belgian writer-director Jaco Van Dormael imaginatievly captures an entire lifespan going from a child's innocence to a crusty old codger who finally learns to accept the mixed blessings of the life he has led. Subtitles. An implied affair, brief violence and momentary nudity. (A-III) (PG-13) ( 1992 )

These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

The classifications are as follows:

A-I -- general patronage;
A-II -- adults and adolescents;
A-III -- adults;
L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
O -- morally offensive.

Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
