Childhood as a dog

Retta 2022-01-13 08:01:01

Very simple and deep film, a Swedish town in the 1950s. A true story, filmed based on memories. Children's exploration of sex is unabashedly displayed. Naturally, some sugar is put in the nostalgia, but it is not artificial and not cheap.
The title is very clear: Children project themselves as their pet dogs to escape external shocks and protect themselves. But when he knew that the pet dog had died in the boarding house, he said goodbye to his childhood-childhood as a dog. The dog who can play and play jokes stays somewhere in the maze forever, and the child becomes a teenager and continues to explore the maze.
The best children's film, children's film for adults. It is comparable to Truffaut's Small Change (1976).

    Tell a very miserable and sad story with a very warm structure! The growing up story of a little boy who compares himself as an abandoned dog. All the moving parts are not at all pretentious, stop at the end.
