Review of Small Change (1976) by Generoso F — 07 Jan 2010
Essentially a comedy, but the loose narrative structure makes it slightly unclassifiable. Truffaut peppers the film with a handful of little eccentricities (for example, the amusing newsreel) that make it unconventional.
Naturally, there is no one character as fleshed out as Antoine Doinel, but we do get a broader range of the childhood experience... from first kisses to child abuse to classroom antics to petty theft.
An enjoyable work, though admittedly it didn't bowl me over.
