A film I love, by a director I love, starts a one week run today in New York City. Francois Truffaut’s The Wild Child has a new 35mm print that will be screening at Film Forum through November 13th.  The film tells the story of feral child found in the woods and the efforts of a doctor to help the child fit into human society. It’s a beautiful film that debates what exactly it means to be human and how exactly we become who we are (socialization or nature).   Also, it is beautifully shot and I can only imagine how amazing the new print is.

Watch the trailer below and if you live in NYC do check it out!
