This was an interesting film. Invites you to look at childhood through a sharper lens, although the film is about more than one child, and the range of clear-cut characters - each performance begs you to pay careful attention - is a beauty to behold.

Some have compared Pialat's first feature film to Truffaut's "The 400 Blows" for focusing on child delinquency, but the comparison is an insult to Pialat. Pialat isn't interested in kitschy trivialities about a mistreated child lashing out through thievery. He digs much deeper, completely shunning sentimentality and conventional dramatic climaxes in favor of dynamic but understated delivery, and drawing a much more complicated psychological picture of his subjects.

Full of quietly realistic and powerful emotional moments. Its influence can be seen everywhere from Wes Anderson to the Dardennes, and it makes me eager to see more of Pialat's films.

Sort of seems almost like a remake of The 400 Blows, but an impressive debut from Pialat nonetheless. A solid piece of social realism all-around, and Pialat's deep sense of humanism rivals Truffaut's if not surpasses it.

Maurice Pialat's debut film is an unsentimental, observational story that approaches documentary in its use of (I think) non-actors and real-life settings, as well as 'fly on the wall' camera and editing style. Eschewing the lyricism of Truffaut, it emphasizes the gulf time creates between knowing a child's inner life when you're able to view it as an adult.

Comparisons to 400 Blows are unavoidable. Both are about troublesome boys, both around the same age, and both end with an ambiguous future. Pialat's film is about a foster child, though, and he dares to make the character more unsympathetic. When taken in by an elderly couple, Francois' warmer side surfaces, but he's still overcome by his nastier impulses. Pialat also does not share Truffaut's New Wave sensibility, instead he goes for a much more realistic approach, almost documentarian.
