Les Jeux Interdits has been described as harrowing. I can
see how people get this impression but it is not relevant
reaction to the film. Death is conceived as a serious matter
by most people and this leads, in England and America particularly,
to a solemnity concerning it. The French, however, can make
excellent jokes about it, as in L'Armoire Volante. I should
describe Les Jeux Interdits as an idyll. Death governs the
action of the film, but as an exquisite game. Though it is ob-
vious to an adult audience that the enchantment of the children's
game cannot last indefinitely, there is little hint of menace
as the adult world infringes on their play. On the contrary, there
is an extension of implication outwards from the children's act-
ions. Innocence is made the vehicle of satire of religion,
the official form of death: from Paulette's prayers as she
buries the dog to the grubby hands groping for the altar-cross,
the mockery is unmistakable. Lyricism and pathos, reminiscent
of Poil de Garrotte, is strong, of course, but the sound French
tradition of anti-clericalism operates in Les Jeux Interdits.
The power of these children to subvert - unconsciously in the
case of Paulette, mischievously in the case of Michel, who is
older - the French Republic sets to spare an audience's feelings
from the physical facts of death. The spell of Paulette's and
Michel's world, in which death is displaced from reality to
play, is lyrically expressed - whispered words at night, gifts,
thefts (a realistic version of attitudes expressed in Cocteau's
Les Enfants Terribles, despite the differences in age between
