Forbidden Games
1952
Directed by Rene Clement
All right, once I get this one done I can finally get start my actual work and holy shit, is it really already 2:05?
Anyway, I watched this film awhile ago when I was just browsing the streaming in Netflix. I didn't really realize it was anything special until I started to read other people's reviews on it.
This movie is about a girl whose parents are shot down in front of her. She finds a family that will take her in and forms a friendship with a little boy named Michelle. They make a creepy pet cemetery so they won't feel alone. One thing leads to another and most people find themselves reaching for the tissue box.
I was not one of those people. The whole thing seemed dreadfully corny to me. There was just way too much sappiness, almost to the point of nausea for me. I am not one of those annoying people who laugh at sad movies; I just really did not feel anything. Maybe that makes me some sort of sociopath. Oh well.
RATING: ***--
