L’enfant sauvage – 1969

watched françois truffaut’s l’enfant sauvage (the wild child) again last night. what an exquisite film. the black and white cinematography is gorgeous, antonio vivaldi’s sublime music forms the film’s entire musical score, truffaut’s performance as the real-life dr itard is perfectly controlled and 13 year old jean-pierre cargol (who plays the main role) is absolutely stunning. more background on the film here.
