    It's kind of insane how good Kieślowski was even at this earliest stage of his career, making his most rudimentary work.

    HD presentation as part of the Arrow Dekalog box - buy this set, seriously.

    Between this and Murmur of the Heart, I don't think I'd be remiss in saying that Malle may be the greatest director of children of all time. He captures adolescence in such profoundly elegant ways, at once subtle and so clearly universal. And even with a backdrop that reaches a terribly moving conclusion, Malle manages to avoid melodrama and instead imbues the film with life and warmth and sly humor. The scene in which the kids watch Chaplin's "The Immigrant" is an all-time great.
