What movie am I thinking of?
December 1, 2015 3:04 PM

I vaguely remember a film from the 60s or 70s, probably French or Italian, composed of several loosely-connected vignettes surrounding the lives of children. It had a very Le Ballon Rouge feel to it, I think. One scene in particular stands out: a young child, or perhaps siblings, are stuck in an apartment one day; people from other surrounding apartments see him/them and together assemble a basket of food, eventually lowering it to them through a window. I know it's not much to go on. Anyone have an idea?

J'ai faim! Aidez moi! Man, that's the best scene ever. She was just being a little pissy brat so her family left her home when they went out to dinner. RB's got it.

Yes, of course! Thanks Ruthless. I wanted to watch it with my girlfriend but just couldn't come up with the name. I should have known it was Truffaut, though. :)
