Synopsis

The Wild Child is based on a remarkable journal, the 1806 memoirs of a French physician Jean Itard. The record begins in 1798, when a child is found living in the forest like an animal. Dr. Itard sets for himself the task of educating this child who is totally alien to civilization. Shot in austere black and white, the film achieves a depth of vision treating anew love, freedom, the nature of childhood and childhood's end. In French with English Francois Truffaut---France---1970---85 mins.

Marvelous movie. Sensitive, factual recounting of the rehabilitation of the Wild Boy of Aveyron. Only caveat is that it doesn't show that the boy never became a normal human being. Nevertheless, every should see this film.
