Small Change

France d/ Francois Truffaut

Episodic tribute to the young people living in a small town in France. Their lives are inter-related but the film has no narrative arc. We watch events that are typical for children anywhere in the western world. Some good stuff, some painful to watch, some naughtiness, a couple of crimes, one abused child, one kiss.

The film displays a deep and sensitive understanding of what it's like to be young. It is polished and well-directed...a fine effort.
