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.

黑白密室偵探片，十個角色，一女九男，其中一個是兇手。「過去我沒聽說過這戲，為了拍《8美千嬌》，我看了一遍，令我獲益良多，對那年代的美國電影瞭解得更清楚。」（奧桑）《Marie-Octobre》很寫實，是齣沉重的電影，拍得一板一眼。奧桑往相反方向走　－　輕鬆、非寫實、七彩、諷刺（人物互相指控而來）。 同類克里斯蒂式偵探片，奧桑較喜歡佳咸美頓（Guy Hamilton：《破鏡奇案》(The Mirror Crack'd)，《午日奇屍》(Evil under the Sun)，還有Sydney Lumet的《東方快車》。《8美千嬌》參照此片最多的是佈景設計，像客廳、書房、睡房、飯廳等。

该片是一部短片合集，由7个段落所组成的电影。by:yakubd.cc
