L'ARGENT DE POCHE / SMALL CHANGE
Director: François Truffaut
1975, France, French with English subtitles, 104 min A handful of children live the last weeks of the school year waiting impatiently for the holidays. Through a series of loosely connected vignettes in a small city in southern France, a group of children, from infants to adolescents, experience the joys and trials of being young. Truffaut’s film, which incorporates many improvisations from the young cast, is surprising and delightful. “A comedy, a romance, a mystery — in a word: childhood — captured, distilled, and transformed effortlessly from sketchbook to symphony in the hands of a master named Francois Truffaut.” — Wes Anderson “Francois Truffaut’s series of sketches on the general theme of the resilience of children turns out to be that rarity – a poetic comedy that’s really funny.” — Pauline Kael, The New Yorker You can watch the trailer here.
