L' Argent de poche, (1976) ("Small Change") Times they are a changing, 21 October 2005 7/10 I read this film was actually a documentary/social psychology film. At the time, or the time it relates to, France was going coeducational after many years of different classes for boys and girls (see the psychiatrist Lacan, Foucault's "History of Sexuality" volumes, etc. English attributes sex to "French" for some subconscious reason, does it not?) and the film, which I saw at a University, was much better than "Goodbye Mr. Chips" or "The Lady Vanishes". The toddler falling out the window unhurt makes the film even seem surreal, like a long patriarchal myth, an enjoyable one though, (for a change, no?) I enjoyed it as a wonderful story, a chance to go to France for a couple of hours and "meet you at Mao".
