Children's Sicknesses

About This Movie

Children's Sicknesses is this wild, colorful romp through a child's first school experience. The pacing feels like a whirlwind, capturing the innocence and chaos inherent in childhood. The chemistry between the boy and Zizi is charming, with their adventures offering a window into the joys and trials of early friendship. The practical effects, while simple, are quite engaging and add a layer of authenticity to their imaginative escapades. Themes of exploration and discovery are woven throughout, making it a nostalgic trip for those who recall their own first days at school. It’s not overly polished, adding to its endearing quality.

Children's Sicknesses has had a somewhat elusive presence in the collector's market. Released in 1965, it can be hard to find in good condition, particularly on original formats like VHS or early DVD. Its unique blend of comedy and family themes seems to draw in a niche audience, sparking interest among collectors who appreciate films that explore childhood with a sense of adventure and imagination. As its obscurity grows, it may become a more sought-after title for those who enjoy quirky cinema from the era.
