Naked Childhood (L'Enfance nue)

After A Nos Amours I was very curious to check out the rest of Maurice Pialat’s work and damn I’m glad I did.  I cared so much about this boy even though I didn’t like him for most of the film. I understood his motives and he barely said anything. Pialat is amazing at…

I like how Pialat is so consistent that a lot of Naked Childhood is visible in Van Gogh even if their main characters at first might seem so distant. An incredible excercise in both empathy and how to build a film around an specific individual experience. Pialat is as usual…

A bracing debut, one that presents an inscrutable child whose unreadability initially suggests him to be cipher. Gradually, however, the editing fills in details precisely by withholding them, constantly jumping the second you form one opinion about François to another…

Importante isto: o quanto o cinema do Pialat vem do cinema francês dos anos 30, do que esse cinema foi, isto quer dizer do que pôde ser antes da Ocupação, do quanto pôde conjugar tradição e liberdade em relação à tradição. Inclusive no seguinte sentido: Pialat não faz um…
