Excellent movie only possible for a true master in the art of making himself apparently invisible for the children, who seem to function in the scene with complete easiness in one world between documentary and fiction. It is also very funny, and always full of natural and fresh narrative, far from the tragic twist that unfortunately seems to permeate the complete Noel's work so far. Some of the children's paintings are really wonderful. It reminds me the best of François Truffaut and qualify it as an authentic masterpiece. Hopefully the author, whose photographic and film technique's are outstanding, would decide to continue this path. Louis Malle, Jean Vigo... are clearly surpassed here. Only the best Truffaut could be a match for it.
