Document Summary
Really filmed in paris rather than on a set. The family goes to see it but it is not a family film. Makes their joyful exit seem odd but the title is appropriate for the content of the film. Claustrophobia is a theme: getting put behind the blackboard, the small house he lives in, the jail cell. Represents the oppression he feels in his current life in paris. Focused on depth of field rather than calculated shots. Talking head shot no shot reverse shot (you never see the psychologist) Talks about how he prefers to lie, why he does like his mom (she has always neglected him, experience with a prostitute) New wave films: films from the 1950"s and 1960"s. Shot on location, focused more on social issues, experimented with new camera techniques (first french musical) Hiroshima mon amour, les parapluies de cherbourg, 400 blows.
