In French. 83 minute running time. A story about a French foster child, a handsome little psychopath named Francois, kind of looked like the kid from The 400 Blows (1959) (which I didn’t like) … anyway he’s a little monster, but not always, so it’s tough to hate him completely … he’s just a screwed-up 10-year-old … I didn’t hate this, but I wouldn’t call it entertaining. I can see why Criterion saved it, since it’s Pialat’s debut movie…
