Subject: Re: Child's perspective in drama or docs
There are quite a few British films from the 1950s that include POV of
the
child;
Mandy (1952, A. Mackendrick) about a deaf child learning to speak,
Tiger Bay (1959, J. Lee Thompson) where the girl played by Hayley Mills
befriends a murderer,
The Rocking Horse Winner (1949, A. Pelissier) which includes some good
scenes from the boy's perspective of the (maternal) house,
The Yellow Balloon (1952, J. Lee Thompson) about the relationship
between a
small boy and a murderer which includes a cracking scene where the adult
stalks the boy through the disused underground.
Great Expectations, The Spanish Gardener, The Fallen Idol ...
The Go-Between (1970)
Lord of the Flies
Someone mentioned The Apple and a lot of Iranian cinema uses
allegorical storytelling to evade the censor, and children as a vehicle
for
this, try Dance of Dust, 1991 or The White Balloon 1996.
