A Dark Yet Playful Comedy
24 September 2003
I saw Jeux D'enfants at a screening during the Toronto International Film Festival. The film follows a boy and a girl who engage in a game involving a tin box. The box is traded back and forth between the two and the keeper of the box must complete a dare proposed by the other. This leads to some very funny moments, but the film also touches on some serious ones too. This film definitely had the same tone of fantasy that Amelie contained. As the children grow older, their dares become more cynical towards each other and I think that is the one detraction from the film, however it also kept Jeux D'enfants with a fresh quality as well. It is definitely an interesting film that is worth seeing.
