Une Infinie Tendresse poster

Released in 1968, Une Infinie Tendresse is a notable film.

What it’s about. French documentary on the world of a brain-damaged, physically-handicapped child confined to a wheel chair, unable to speak but trying desperately to communicate with his nurse and the other children in the hospital. It chronicles his friendship with another youngster even more crippled than himself, their joy in being together, their little spats and, finally, the termination of their friendship by death. Directed by Pierre Jallaud, it is a remarkable achievement, treating its subject creatively yet with complete integrity. There is no commentary, no dialogue, only the natural sounds of the children and their environment.

Who’s in it. Une Infinie Tendresse stars France-Noëlle and John Ainsworth.
