P.G.,I just found this film extraordinary (and I'm pretty much biased against the medium of film for various reasons, documentaries being one of them, as you may have noted in an earlier post of mine down the page). I really can't explain it - saw it 'freshly' (meaning I had no idea who the director was AND didn't even know of any of the actors/actresses at the time, i.e., I wasn't partial toward it due to any fame associated with the making of it). That child-narrator was just fucking phenomenal (along with her performance - I could have adopted her on the spot!). My only complaint (so-called) would be the fire scene: seemed awfully long and a bit pointless (maybe natural disasters in life just bore me [!]).
For what it's worth, I found "Barry Lyndon" (directed by Kubrick) quite extraordinary, too. Overly romantic [in both senses of the term, i.e., the romance story and the romanticized rendering] but somehow I think of both films TOGETHER. I surely 'teared up' a-plenty with both films. No question on the emotions getting worked up.
Looking forward to your response.
Respect,
