简概：One of Julian Duvet's best works is also what he considers his favorite of all silent films. Poil de Carote was bullied by his maternal mother, abused by his siblings, and neglected by his father. His childhood was very tragic. As an illegitimate child, he is the main cause of hostility between parents, who continue to live together just to maintain their appearance. In the end, Boyle de Carot's pain became beyond his ability to bear... The review of "Boyd Carot" draws heavily on Jules Renard's poignant novel. It is a humble but attractive film that has withstood the test of time, mainly due to its performance quality and inherent humanity. It is more memorable than Julien Duvivier's earlier silent version of 1925, also known as the Poil de Carote. Boyle de Carrot is played by 11 year old Robert Lynn, who is said to have been spotted walking on the Champs Elysees in Paris. Lynn is very charming, and this movie made him an instant star, starting a seemingly promising film career - until he was shot while fighting the Germans in 1944. Harry Bauer was a legendary stage and film actor (who also died during World War II, allegedly at the hands of the Gestapo), and his performance was excellent. The reconciliation between father and son at the end of the film provides the most enduring image that can melt the hearts of all but the most persevering audience. http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDReviews36/poil_de_carotte.htm http://frenchfilms.topcities.com/nf_Poil_de_carotte_rev.html
