“Agnes Vardau0026#39;s biographical sketch of Jacques Demyu0026#39;s childhood and how it shaped him into a filmmaker. I use the word u0026quot;sketchu0026quot; because the film doesnu0026#39;t really go in-depth to any degree and it feels like a pretty superficial treatment. However, thereu0026#39;s a lot of warmth and charm to it, and the anecdotes being revealed make for compelling material. If the sort of nostalgia on display isnu0026#39;t terribly original, at least there is some originality in the structure, tying clips from Demyu0026#39;s work to specific moments to his youth. The brief scenes of the real Demy (presumably not long before his death) help keeps things fresh as well. While this didnu0026#39;t knock my socks off, it was a very pleasant and endearing movie.”
