Morocco
Beautifully done film about four street urchins living and dying on the hard streets of Casablanca. They steal, sell stuff, sniff glue, fight with each other and a bullying gang... When confronted with caring adults they revert to being shy children.
Similar to Pixote but the rough edges were tempered. Good not great performances from the kids. Unfortunately the best and most charismatic actor among them was killed early on. Still we got to know these kids and their world, saw their dreams (nice use of simple animation for that), and followed their story to its bittersweet end.
Sensitive and intelligent. A winner.
