红发1925

故事是这样的：一个红头发的男孩，在家中总被母亲冷眼相待，父亲忙于工作，哥哥姐姐也常拿他取乐。夏洛特·巴尔比耶-克劳斯饰演的母亲几乎没有夸张动作，仅凭嘴角微垂和目光游移就传递出令人窒息的掌控欲；亨利·克劳斯则用僵硬的肢体语言演绎父权的无力与妥协。这片子适合能静下心看默片的朋友，不用字幕也能看懂，光看表情就能把人拽进去。Henry Krauss演的老好人爸爸也绝了，懦弱又无奈。适合喜欢古典叙事、对早期电影表演有耐心的观众，尤其推荐给那些想看看在没有视听轰炸的年代，电影如何用克制的方式直击人心。主角Charlotte Barbier-Krauss和Henry Krauss是现实夫妻，演起来默契得吓人。

　　Summary
　　Bullied by his matriarchal mother, abused by his siblings, ignored by his father, Poil de Carotte's childhood is as miserable as it could be.  An illegitimate child, he is the main reason for the enmity which exists between his parents, who continue to live together just to keep up appearances. In the end, Poil de Carotte's suffering becomes more than he can bear...
　　Review
　　Drawing heavily on the poignant novel by Jules Renard on which it is based, Poil de carotte is a modest yet appealing film which has stood the test of time mainly because of the quality of its acting performances and its inherent humanity. It is more memorable than Julien Duvivier's earlier silent version of 1925, also named Poil de Carotte.
　　The part of Poil de Carotte was played by 11 year old Robert Lynen, who was alleged to have been discovered whilst walking down the Champs-Elysées in Paris. Lynen is totally captivating and the film made him an instant star, launching what looked like becoming a very promising film career – until he was shot dead whilst fighting against the Germans in 1944.  Harry Baur, a legendary stage and film actor (who also died during World War II, allegedly at the hands of the Gestapo), also turns in a typically fine performance.  The reconciliation between father and son at the end of the film provides its most enduring image, enough to melt the heart of all but the most stoical of spectators.
