The tone of the whole story reminds me of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", the boy's growth and farewell to youth.
In addition, I also really like films with World War II as the background but not directly related to the war itself. It seems that there is a more real opposition to human nature in this environment, such as "Melancholy Sunday".
This film is quite natural, there is no Hollywood-like sudden sublimation, and there is no Chinese-style preaching. The so-called growth is quite naturally revealed in the boy's eyes, which is really amazing.
Also, this female teacher is really wild, and there may be cultural differences on this point. I don't know her motive very well. Is it simply because she likes that boy? Because of loneliness physical needs? Or revenge on her husband? That scene where she got drunk and forced the boy to fuck with her with a broken wine bottle left a deep impression on me. Reminds me of a book that said: A woman rejecting a man is reserved or shy, and a man rejecting a woman is cruel and horrible. From this point of view, men and women are still a bit unequal.
Then there is the husband of the female teacher. What the female teacher gave the boy was sexual enlightenment, her husband seemed to give the boy more, Beethoven, wool socks, maybe this is the whole life. Did he make the boy understand that sex is not all there is to life?
There is also the background music. I checked the information, and it seems that it is an opera. I don't know much about this. It sounds like sacred music. It seems that Europeans are really very people-oriented.
In the end, I couldn't help but want to ask, did the topics discussed by the boys at the beginning of the film and the little notes passed on happened to all the boys?
