243. Children who draw (1956)


Country: Japan
Directed by Susumu Hani

An early original piece of Japanese new wave cinema, Children who draw is a sweet, cute documentary with children but somehow incorporates as well many of the obsessions of the modern cinema: phsycology and subconsious, abstract and imagination, reflection of the social conditions to the inner world and shaping of the human characters, realism, collective every day protagonists instead of the special individual. Susumu Hani does a great job portrayting the kids a d their art in a tender film that remains surprisingly fresh 60 years or so later
