About This Movie

So, this twelve-part documentary, it’s a unique blend of art and reality, you know? Godard and Miéville really capture the essence of two kids growing up in France, mixing their innocence with the complexities of adult life. The pacing is relaxed, almost meditative, allowing you to soak in the mundane yet meaningful moments of their daily existence. The atmosphere is distinctly French, with a certain nostalgia for childhood that feels both personal and universal. The way they incorporate the mundane into their storytelling is something you don’t see often, making it quite distinctive. It’s like a visual diary, reflecting on society through the eyes of youth, which is not just engaging, but thought-provoking too.

This film is quite rare, as it hasn't seen much distribution outside of specialized circles. Its appearance on certain formats is limited, and collectors usually seek out the original broadcasts or any home video releases that capture the essence of its unique documentary style. There's an interesting blend of interest from both Godard enthusiasts and those who appreciate the documentary format, making it a conversation piece among collectors.
