Small Change Reviews
Small Change (L'Argent de Poche)
If ever a movie demonstrated a directors affection for the lives and characters of children, "Small Change" is it. This intimate little film is warm, wise and touching, brimming with humanity and imbued with a delightful Gallic flavor. (Highlight: watching little Gregory go: Boum!). Dont miss this gem.
The Surviving Child?
Small Change is a film that describes interactions between different children and their social macrocosm and this leads to different results in their social microcosms, since the children are under the complete control of their guardians. The adults' parenting sometimes leaves the children vulnerable and which is presented in a number of troubling scenes. Despite these perilous situations, the children survive and have to learn how to manage by themselves in order to live a happy life. Nevertheless, the parents do offer affection and love for the children, which aids in their struggle through life. In turn, the children also affect adult rule over them through different actions. Truffaut displays great understanding for children through this film by creating a next to perfect dissection of child development and child psychology that psychologists such as Harlow, Vygotsky and Piaget would call "a functioning experiement in action". Overall, there are several pleasurable moments in the film that are well balanced with the serious occasions, which leaves the audience with a brilliant cinematic experience that is full of wonderful life lessons.
