PUNQ

Rated 24 Oct 2018

There is something special when it comes to the under-appreciated films of Jean Benoît-Lévy & Marie Epstein, especially when it comes to the mind of a child. Something which I first adored in La maternelle (1933), and here again, in the passionate world of ballet, we see through the eyes of young aspiring ballerinas, and it's just as touching with a flare of darkness going on. The young lady in focus was truly amazing in her only feature role. A gem.
