Low budget sci fi
dbdumonteil25 January 2009
The subject is hackneyed: the world after the press-button war (or something like that).Men has become figures in a ruined landscape.Life in society is a thing they cannot do anymore,they are so full of fear they live on their own.

Philippe is one of these men;his wife ,Yvette,was killed by three strangers).Philippe is desperately in need of someone to talk with.He meets a group of children .But they are building something new,something he cannot understand .These brats have understood that grown-ups failed and they do not need them anymore.

Made on a shoestring budget by a director who has remained completely unknown,"Demain Les Momes" show brats who ask man for an explanation.Some day,they will.

Like this?try these....

Le Dernier Combat ,Luc Besson,1982

The village of the damned ,Wolf Rilla,1960

The damned,Joseph Losey,1961

French end of the world

Warning: Spoilers
Yvette and Philippe (Niels Arestrup) somehow escaped the end of the world, which was mainly caused by really loud noises, and have tried to start over again. Then she gets murdered and he tries to find humans anywhere, only to discover a group of small children. He believes that he can teach them everything they know how to survive as well as how to bring back civilization. They have ideas of their own.

Tomorrow's Children was directed by Jean Pourtalé and you know, I don't think I've seen a French post-nuke movie. You can spot a young Emmanuelle Béart in the cast, too.

If you've seen Late August at The Hotel Ozone, you may see a fair bit of that movie in this one. For some reason, before Mad Max, movies about the end of humanity were depressing affairs. I mean, in those movies, kids do madcap things like throw weapons that cut off the heads of bad guys and not kills wives and eat dogs.
