Are french kids in general just crazy? ;) (list movies here)
I've seen quite a few french movies now featuring alienated french kids who are up to no good or have been neglected, institutionalized or abused. Not including this movie, movies with a similar theme/feel that stand out to me are...
It's not me, I swear (2008 movie, the kids in it are French Canadian)
The 400 Blows (1959)
The Son of the Shark (1993)
10 1/1 (French Canadian flick from 2010)
Ils (Them) (2006)
Ponette (1996)
Can anybody name any more? I find them strangely refreshing, watching these
crazy kids light fires, get arrested and cause general mayhem.
