絵を描く子どもたち (1956) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 1956, 絵を描く子どもたち is a notable film directed by Susumu Hani.

What it’s about. Children Who Draw explores the delicate chemistry of school children interacting in an art class through a constant juxtaposition of observational black-and-white portraits of the young children with lyrical passages shot in vivid color exploring their imaginative and expressive paintings. Experimenting with color as an intimate expression of the children’s inner worlds, a tool for deeper psychological investigation, Hani allows his camera to roam freely across the drawings, “de-framing’” and enagaging the artwork in a manner reminiscent of Alain Resnais.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.5/10, 絵を描く子どもたち has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
