Louis Malle's film is one of the most perceptive coming of age works, particularly in its handling of incest

This is one of Louis Malle's best films because of his careful study of a youthful age and psychology. [Full Review in Spanish]

When the French come of age, they really come of age.

How [Louis Malle] achieves this effect is beyond me; he takes the most highly charged subject matter you can imagine, and mutes it into simple affection.

should be memorable for its keen ability to render the fumbling antics of early adolescent boyhood with an acute eye and a tender touch

In all their messiness, here are love, sex, society, and family, met with cleansing laughter.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Louis Malle's critically acclaimed film gracefully combines elements of comedy, drama, and autobiography in a candid portrait of a precocious adolescent boy's sexual maturation. Both shocking and deeply poignant, this is one of the finest coming-of-age films ever made.
Product Description:
While convalescing at a health retreat, a sensitive and sexually curious teenage boy explores his identity, with a little help from his doting mother. The tender direction belies the film's provocative sexual themes, which caused it to be almost banned in France upon its release.
