Review title: OUTSTANDING ANTI WAR MASTERPIECE ON LOSS OF INNOCENCE
Product review: Of the small handful of world cinema's certified gems, René Clément's FORBIDDEN GAMES (Criterion) is the perhaps the outstanding masterpiece on the loss of innocence.Simple in its premise and brilliant in its execution, the somewhat inaccurately titled story is set in World War II France.In order to survive the madness around them, a newly orphaned five year old girl and a slightly older local farm boy are forced to reinvent their world of sudden death with pseudo religious coping rituals. Unfortunately, their actions put them in dangerous conflict with the adult authorities.Amazing naturalistic performances from the two child stars helped secure a much deserved 1952 Oscar for Best Foreign Film.Forbidden Games informs our most basic experience of what it means to be alive -- and to die.Few films tap into the deepest levels of our collective psyche like this one.More urgent and relevant than ever. That ultimate rarity -- cinema as art.
