What The Wild Child Is About
A boy who has grown up alone in the woods, without language, is captured and handed to a doctor who decides to educate him. Truffaut plays the doctor himself, and that casting is the film's argument. The man behind the camera and the man inside the frame are asking the same uncomfortable question: is teaching someone a way of enlarging them, or a way of conscripting them into your own world? Shot in black and white and structured like a case journal, it refuses to convert the material into an inspirational story. Progress here is small, slow, and never quite settled.
