10/10

Irrepressibly wonderful little boy, poignant ending.

I saw this film in the early '80s. The Public Broadcasting System thought it worthy of airing in the Boston area. A truly remarkable and irrepressible little boy is adopted by an old Jewish couple. (I read that the director of the movie interviewed over 1000 children to find the little actor in this story.) The movie is filmed in Hungary just before the Nazi invasion. The country village is colorful and charming. Yet one knows what is coming. The ominous foreboding is off set by the wonder of the relationships. He collects frogs in a bucket and accidentally lets the out in the kitchen. Then the fun of catching them. The couple teach this little gentile their rich Jewish traditions. And then the inevitable... As a gentile, I found the Jewish life -wonderful. And because of it, have become hooked on Jewish film festivals. I love this film and want to see it again!

Trivia
The story is based on the life experience of the director as a little boy.

Goofs
When the film opens within the first few seconds after the credits have finished there are boys swimming mostly nude in the pool/bath. The boys are jumping in and out and some even do flips in to the fool. A child of about 10 does a flip but he does so just outside the pool edge and nearly if not slightly hits his head on the pool edge. Another boy about 11 appears to step out of character for a second to ask if he is OK. Apparently he is and the boys continue to play and there doesn't seem to be any type of stoppage in the film. This is a very close call which could have been very tragic.
