Movie Reviews of Small Change (L'argent de poche)
Movie Review: Small Change great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This delightful film is funny, compassionate, and realistic. It follows a group of children through a series of semi-related incidents. You get a marvelous feel for their motivations and thought processes. I highly recommend it for the foreign film lover.
Summary of Small Change (L'argent de poche)
Critic Pauline Kael neatly summed up the timeless appeal of Fran?ois Truffaut's 1976 film by calling it "that rarity--a poetic comedy that's really funny." In other words, Truffaut's brilliant, upbeat study of resilient children in a French village is both artistically satisfying and joyously entertaining, proving yet again (after his acclaimed debut film The 400 Blows) that few directors remembered and understood the experience of childhood as clearly as Truffaut. The film's episodic structure reveals its young characters gradually, leaving them and returning to them as their individual stories unfold. Most of the sketches are hilarious (as when a little girl uses a megaphone to announce that she's been "abandoned," resulting in generous gifts of food from her surrounding neighbors), but there's also a story about a boy with abusive parents who learns to survive by his own ingenuity. Throughout, this remarkable film gets all the details precisely right, featuring a youthful cast of kids who don't seem to be acting at all. It's as if Truffaut had somehow gained privileged entrance into their world, and they carried on as if the camera simply wasn't there. (Another French film, Ponette, would achieve a similar, more heartbreaking feat two decades later.) --Jeff ShannonArt House & International DVD Video
