The most realistic cinematic depiction of childhood. There is no sentimentality, no nostalgia and no romanticization of childhood, just childhood with all its senselessness and sensibilities, ignorance and innocence. This was made in 1968, the climax of political turmoil in France, and while the most important French filmmakers were making political films, Pialat merely glances at a demonstration at the beginning of the film and instead dives into the actual working-class life, unlike Godard who ostensibly made films about the class' struggle, but never really came anywhere close to them at all.
