Another child POV film I’d recommend is Treeless Mountain, which just got a run in NYC, and should be on DVD soon. Intimate, minimalist drama about two South Korean sisters hustled from relative to relative – and their growing disillusionment with adults.

I watched Mockingbird for the first time since I was a kid recently, and it really is an amazing film. It’s a very controlled, elegant work of art. Robert Mulligan really knew how to handle POV shots, as well as child actors.

Celina Murga is a new name to me, (gee, when did that subscription to Cahiers du Cinema lapse…1989 or 1990? Hmm), and from your well done description, I have a discovery ahead of me that sounds very promising. I am always drawn to films told from a child’s POV, from The Rocking Horse Winner (1949), The 400 Blows (1959), To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) to Ponette (1996)–so A Week Alone (2007) really intrigues me. I will be adding that one to my very long list of films to see sooner rather than later.

Thanks for introducing me to her work.
