6 / 10 8 / 10 A great movie. Becourt is great especially when he is out with his friends gambling on who's going to run in the lamppole and other crazy things boys do at that age. One thing I cannot figure out in this film is the vendor selling, out in the middle of a field with nobody around; except these kids of course.
My Movie Rating: 8 / 10 Also see Tati's wonderful earlier film M. Hulot's Holiday.
