What is there to say that hasn't been said? The film is sublime, perfect. What I noticed this time was how upbeat it remained even as our main character has one misfortune handed him after another. The spirit of the film (thanks to the wonderful score) is so tender, so full of mischief and wonder, even as the situations become tougher. This is an autobiographical film, based on Truffaut's childhood experiences. He seemed to remain in that realm for the rest of his career, and life. He was tuned in to how it feels to be a child, and had unending empathy and respect for them. This is such a delightful and humanistic film. See it.
