appreciate "Forbidden Games," run, don't walk and rent "The Children are Watching Us," by De Sica.
It should be on those best of all time lists. Near the top. It has the impact of "Madame Bovary" or "Anna Karenina."
Not much to say except it's a masterwork by an artist of the highest caliber.
Follow Ups:
It is one of those movies that I think I have seen, based on the description, but can't quite recall. So I stuck it between the two Seinfelds...
scenes from it, days later.
The gentleman that plays the father is... remarkable. I can't think of a more difficult role to "bring off" but he does so with strength, feeling, and humanity.
The little boy is astonishingly good.
The wife? We'll discuss her later...
