L'Enfant Sauvage

We watched the 1970 François Truffaut movie L'Enfant Sauvage as a family the other night.

Apparently it's based on a real story, one that most French people have heard about (A had learned of it in school, and he's only 8). The child actor was really good, as was Truffaut himself, and the film was enjoyable although not a masterpiece either for the story/script nor for the cinematography. It didn't have the originality and daring of some other Truffaut films, but it was a good movie and it's nice to start being able to see films together that aren't action movies or real kid stuff.
