Nackte Kindheit (1968)

Nackte Kindheit: Directed by Maurice Pialat. With Michel Terrazon, Linda Gutenberg, Raoul Billerey, Pierrette Deplanque. An anguished foster child takes to mischief and lies as his foster parents do their best to love and care for him. But it might be too little, too late in this emotionally devastating portrayal of the orphaned child.

“Naked childhood or Lu0026#39;enfance nue (original title) is a film that deals with issues such as under-privileged children, foster-parenting and in general children being raised apart from their parents. The director approaches his subject with a realistic, almost documentary narrative with the least amount of dramatization. Therefore viewers will be shown a pretty straightforward story about a troublesome kid and what he is going through with foster-parents, school, social service agents and so on.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI think the film does a good job at showing us that no oneu0026#39;s to blame for what eventually happens in these scenarios and yet the current method is a failure for these children. Itu0026#39;s a film that is not very shocking or disturbing (although there are couple scenes) but it can make one think for a while.”
