I have been aware of this film for several years but have never been able to track it down until now when I finally located the DVD.

Moonrise Kingdom Ahsoka Administrators 1 Author: Ahsoka 12 September Quite simply this is one of the Best French films of the last fifty years. The relatively unknown Jean-Loup Hubert has produced the kind of film that the overrated Godard could not turn out if you gave him a hundred years to be fair to the semi-Amateur Godard he would probably have no interest in addressing the Human Condition in such a refreshing straightforward fashion.
In terms of story it would be difficult to find something more basic - at one end of the spectrum a married couple living in rural Brittany have slowly grown apart since losing a child, at the other end is nine year old Louis, a city boy from Paris sent to spend a summer with the couple so that his mother an old friend of the wife may have her second child without the encumbrance of her first.
The tone is set from the first with a wistful, haunting music track leading us into a nineteen fifties French countryside preserved in amber as Christine Pascal billed only as the mother of Louis entrusts her son Antoine Hubert to the care of her friend Marcelle Anemone and her husband Pelo Richard Bohringer.
This is a French film and French film in a rural setting so we meet Marcelle as she is removing the eye of a rabbit with a knife as a prelude to skinning it.
