Watch on Cineuropa : des films qui vont vous faire retourner en enfance
Allons enfants de Stéphane Demoustier

Cet article est disponible en anglais.

No, this is not a list of the Disney films that you used to watch over and over as a kid, so often and so religiously you’d end up reciting them by heart and wearing out the VHS tapes (for those among you who still remember what VHS tapes were, that is). It’s a list of films that will remind you just how magical and mysterious, and sometimes terrifying, the world can look when you see it as a kid, movies that will invite you to keep your inner child alive, even as the years go by, and our gap from that idyllic moment in time grows larger. Sit down, and happy reminiscing.

An 8-year old Portuguese child fled with her parents to France in the early seventies. But the Portuguese terror travels along with her, with an alcoholic father and unloving mother. Winner of the International Debut Award at the 2018 Goteborg Film Festival, Cristina Pinheiro concocts a lacerating coming of age tale, with a stellar performance by the young Luisa Palmeira.

Loveling

Aparajito

The second chapter of Ray’s extraordinary Apu Trilogy, Aparajito follows teenage Apu in his tender, sometimes heart-wrenching path to adulthood.

What does it mean to raise your children “the appropriate way”, and who gets to decide what “appropriate” means, exactly? Sophie Reine’s endearing dramedy - where a single father struggles with the education of his two daughters while working two jobs - is a wonderful attack on the system, and an ode to the complicated, mysterious beauty of all kinds of families.

Todos se van

Sergio Cabrera adapts an acclaimed book by Cuban writer Wendy Guerra in Todos Se Van, a portrait of an 8-year-old caught in a custody battle that doubles as a struggle against a whole country’s oppressive regime. A family portrait that grows into a larger snapshot of a nation confronting a pivotal moment of its young history.
