“One of the most moving films about childhood ever made, 'L'enfance nue' is also one of the most tough-minded… With its clipped rhythms and documentary-like directness, it's a work of startling immediacy, concerned above all with how François reacts to the world around him, to his ever-changing circumstances. It establishes the searching sensibility that would characterize Pialat's cinema, bruisingly alive and fully in the moment.”
- LA Times review of 'L’Enfance Nue'

“An anguished foster child takes to mischief and lies as his foster parents do their best to love and care for him. But it might be too little, too late in this emotionally devastating portrayal of the orphaned child.”
- Official Synopsis of 'L’Enfance Nue'

The event will take place in the Jardin de la Folie Titon: an amazing outdoor location under the stars! Please bring your own seating, whether it's a picnic rug or chair.
