VHS Movie Reviews of The Little Thief (In French Language, subtitled in English)
Movie Review: The last Opus of Truffaut!
Summary: 4 Stars
Pitifully the death came for him, leaving so this project, unfinished. Claude Miller decided to assume the challenge to materialize the script and filmed this poignant story.
Maybe the film has notorious lows; its poetic inspiration does not reach a continuous development and demerits the final result.
It is absolutely necessary to watch previously 400 blows, because the approach is strongly enriched and supported by this vision.
I guess Truffaut intended to return the departure point and so to draw the complete circle. Only under this perspective this film will be appreciated in its total dimension.
Summary of The Little Thief (In French Language, subtitled in English)
A project developed by the late Fran?ois Truffaut but left unrealized by him after his death, The Little Thief was completed by French filmmaker Claude Miller (The Accompanist) and partially revised in script form by several writers. The result is a slight hodgepodge of story ideas about an adolescent girl (a strong performance by Charlotte Gainsbourg) intrigued by adult mysteries, anxious to lose her virginity, and dabbling in petty crimes until she is caught by the law. After a somewhat rocky first act, the film settles into a strong groove and begins to feel very much like Truffaut in his prime. The poignant and witty (if somewhat abrupt) introduction of the idea of the heroine rediscovering the world through a camera lens--and being saved from her wayward existence by the discovery--can't help but make fans of the New Wave pioneer misty-eyed. A good movie, full of ghosts and sweet memories. --Tom KeoghArt House & International VHS Video
