Yanco (1961)
Hard to believe it's a children's film!
I can't remember where I saw this film the first time, probably late-nite TV, but the second time was at the Bleeker Street Cinema in the village of NYC in the early 70s. I made it a point to catch it again just to see if it was as great as I remembered it.
The music is haunting and the boy, Juanito, is a sweet and sensitive victim in a cruel village(world?).
I found the mood of the film to be a well balanced but weird mixture of hope and impending doom. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for...something???
In the end, I was so moved and emotionally drained.
I wish I could find a copy of this great film but it is one of those cases where a seemingly unknown film with such great reviews(by most people who have seen it) is so hard to find.
Does anyone out there have a copy I can buy? Thank you ;)
