Sobre este artículo
English language. 189 p.; ill.; 18 cm. Vintage paperback with red foredges and green pictorial cover, shows moderate external wear, including spine creasing, and the spine is starting in a few places, but otherwise in Very Good+ condition, with bright, clean, and clear text, liberally illustrated with over 80 photographic images from the film. A screenplay translated from the French original.
"Nearly four decades after its release, "The Wild Child" remains startling for its humane clarity, for Nestor Almendros's brilliant black-and-white photography, and for the sense that Truffaut is achieving filmmaking mastery on a very small scale." —Ty Burr
From the rear:
"....The extraordinary quality of this film comes from its restraint, its pathetic simplicity.... A picture of indescribable purity which places Truffaut among the biggest idealists.... A gust of human kindness which restores hope."
—Combat (Paris)
"Perhaps it is simplistic to draw easy parallels between Victor and our own kids who yearn for extensions of themselves that are not defined as material properties or for relationships not based on rewards and punishments....."
—Robert Geller, English Journal, National Council of Teachers of English
