What's Going on with You? is this little gem from 1975 that dives into the complexities of young love and the awkwardness of growing up. The atmosphere is layered with a bittersweet tone, as you follow a boy who chooses to repeat the sixth grade just to stay close to the girl he adores. The pacing is gentle, allowing for those quiet moments where emotions seep through the mundane. Not much is known about the director, which adds to its charm, really. Performances feel authentic, capturing that raw innocence of childhood love. It's distinctive in how it tackles heavy themes like attachment and fear of separation, without veering into melodrama. Just a real slice-of-life kind of film.
This film has had a limited presence in home media formats, making original prints quite sought after. It's not that easy to find, and collectors often share rumors about its availability. The scarcity of information regarding the director creates a certain mystique, which intrigues fans of lesser-known cinema. If you're into those quiet, character-driven stories, this one might just resonate with your collection.
