Francois Truffaut has created an absorbing film about the true-life tale of a young boy found living alone in the woods of France in the 1700s. Using actual journal entries, Truffaut not only directed and co-wrote the script with Jean Gruault, but also starred as the unflappable Doctor Jean-Marc-Gaspard Itard, the visionary who takes on the incredible task of civilizing The Wild Child. At The National Institute for the Deaf and Dumb in Paris, a barely clothed and dirty young boy is admitted. Found in a forest, the child is unable to speak, communicate or function in society. Christened Victor by the hospital staff, his case is taken up by Doctor Itard (Truffaut),a lone physician who has an unyielding dedication to re-integrating the lad into society. But the road to tame the beast is a rocky one and Itard will have to work tirelessly to teach Victor how to re-claim his place in the world even if it means staking his reputation on it!

Which was better, the camerawork or the music? The wild child Jean-Pierre Cargola or François Truffaut? And did Truffaut do a better job at the typewriter, in front of the camera or behind it? I don’t know and I don’t care. It’s enough for me this all resulted in a film whose only drawback is that it’s too short, and ends just as everything was going so well. Which may well be good, but on the other hand I was a little disappointed. I would like a few hours extra in the “almost documentary" company of Madame Guerin and those two rascals.
