User review:
Really this is the best short film I have ever seen. I first got it about a year ago I think and I find that from time to time I watch it and I am always amazed to see how good it is.
I notice that another reviewer said that he had not seen this film with English subtitles. My copy of the film has English subtitles.
This film covers a stunning lot of ground in just seventeen minutes. It moves quickly and has a very packed script. At its heart a nine year old boy is attempting to make sense of the post-pubescent world and to this end he has become fascinated by the penis of his fourteen year old friend. The film touches on racism, identity, religion, sexuality, friendship and much more besides.
It is very charming and great fun.
Would this film be made today? I doubt it very much, and yet I see no harm in this film.

When I download it I can only play audio. It says video type not supported. Only movie I have this issue with.
Video working fine. I am using newest VLC -player.
The reviewer asks if this film could be made today, and doubts it very much.
In the same vain, can you ever imagine males wearing such brief swim wear again, instead of the dreaded knee length baggy shorts of today?
I very much doubt it.
Here in Europe, we use that kind of swimwear all the time.
Including myself today in public swimming hall. I swimming twice a week. We also take “public” shower plain naked. Not with swimsuit. There is lots of other people, children to elderly, using that kind of light swimming suit. Actually, big fat shorts are not allowed mostly of public swimming halls. There is some dirtiness and bacteria risk.
The best swimsuit I have seen in the movie “Le mari de la coiffeuse” or in engl. “THE HAIRDRESSERS HUSBAND” it`s a wool made by his mother.
You’re right Markus of course. Uk and US are principal culprits of the baggy shorts. Personally dislike swimming in anything but tight fitting trunks.
Yes. The reason why those baggy shorts is banned in my countrys public places is cleaniness. Baggy shorts is risk every kind of dirt and bacteria. Tight fitting trunks is easier to wash.
And also, people in here is fine with nakedness. From children to elderly. That is also reason, why “best” (most naked) boyhood-movies is filmed here in mostly Europe. But that situation isn’t some 70-80’s thing. It is everyday thing even now days. Nakedness and tight swimming trunks.
Le mari de la coiffeuse” or in engl. “THE HAIRDRESSERS HUSBAND doesn’t appear to be liste do this site?
I will post tomorrow.
