I first saw this film while I was a student studying in France. I was so taken by the film, with its extraordinary portrait of childhood, that I sat through it a second time the same day! It has been number one on my list of all-time favorite movies with no real rivals until this year's Cannes Prize-winning film "La Vita E Bella" which is in second place (also a fascinating study of life from a child's perspective). Although most Europeans are familiar with this film, I have never met one person in America who ever saw (or even heard of) the film. What a shame.
