Naked Childhood
A ten-year-old boy feels unwanted when his mother places him in a children's home. He goes from one foster family to another as all his foster parents find him too difficult to handle, and he is eventually arrested for throwing bolts at cars from the bridge. The boy tries to overcome his mother's rejection and struggles to boost his self-image.
Maurice Pialat
|
Maurice PIALAT was born on 31 August 1925 in Puy-de-Dôme, France and grew up in Paris. He studied at the École des Arts Décoratifs and the École des Beaux Arts. As a film director, he was known for his non-conformity, which led to difficulties in obtaining finance, and he wrote and directed just ten features, of which at least half were masterworks. Their primary concerns were childhood and family, and Pialat drew on his own experiences to present unyielding portraits of familial cruelty and infidelity. He died on 11 January 2003 in Paris, France. |
