Attention, les enfants regardent

I have always considered Serge Leroy similar to director Alain Jessua. Both were film makers from France who made dramas analysing the modern world, a critism of the society in a bitter and downbeat way. Jessua for instance gave us LES CHIENS, speaking of the dogs used by their masters to protect them.... Serge Leroy also exposed such daring and so interesting topics : la TRAQUE - rape carried out by a small town officials - this very one (ATTENTION LES ENFANTS REGARDENT) denouncing the bad influence TV had - and still has - on children, and Leroy will resume with LE QUATRIEME POUVOIR, which I will review soon. Nothing gratuitous in his movies, but disturbing stories, such as this one, where the ending may feel you dizzy. This film belongs to the list of movies talking of evil chilren: BAD SEED, DEMAIN LES MOMES, VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED. A very good film produced and starring Alain Delon whom I would have never expect the presence. The kids watch a program on their TV set - actually many violent pograms - and one of them is LE MATAF, directed by the same Serge Leroy. In this film, you always wonder who is the good and who is the devil? That's what I love the most !!! One of the most interesting Alain Delon's roles and the least known too.
