    必定會聯想到楚浮的《四百擊》,但是個更純淨、更透明的版本。最後一場埋葬的戲短得令人錯愕,失落感卻在觀後如漣漪般不斷擴散、放大。

    英國新浪潮末期代表作,沒有英式憤怒青年的激烈動感,散發捷克新浪潮那般,用平靜表象寫社會沈痛之實的獨特風味。

    Inevitably brings to mind Truffaut’s The 400 Blows. But a purer and more transparent version. The final burial scene is shockingly brief, yet the sense of loss magnifies and ripples long after.

    A representative work from the late British New Wave, it lacks the intense dynamism of the “angry young men” archetype and exudes a unique flavor akin to the Czechoslovak New Wave, portraying profound social anguish beneath a calm surface.
