on his birthday a small boy tell his mother he be not her son and and that he want to go home to his real mother . in some way comedy de linnocence feel like it come from a different time of movie making and perhaps the 60 or 70 . certainly it remind me of losey secret ceremony ( 1968 ) and and richard loncraine full circle ( 1977 ) and both of which deal with loss and grief and relationship between parent and lose child ( curiously both film star mia farrow ) . all three film be populate with unsympathetic character who behave in strange and unexplained way . all three film have a chilly feel and both emotionally and literally . all three film focus on mother child relationship and and ultimately all three film pose the question what be real and what be imagine . beautiful but flaw and it offer no easy answer and leave much hanging and unexplained and strange .
