Limited Edition version.

François Truffauts The Wild Child (1970) dramatizes the true case of a feral boy discovered in 18th-century France and the physician who attempts to teach him language and humanity. Filmed in stark black-and-white, its both an Enlightenment parable and a deeply human story about education, isolation, and the limits of civilization.

In 1798, a young boy who cannot speak, read or write is found living alone in a forest in France. Determined to integrate the child into society, Dr. Itard (François Truffaut) takes him under his wing, gives him a name, and attempts to teach him how to communicate. Based on a true story, François Truffauts moving tale of care, education, and connection boasts stunning black-and-white cinematography by Néstor Almendros (The Story of Adele H.) and a touching central performance by the director himself, in his first credited role in a feature film.
