< MV: This Special Friendship (1964)
<
< PL: "Special friendships" are youthful relationships with
< PL: homoerotic overtones, and this film explores them in the
< PL: setting of a strict French Roman Catholic boys' boarding school
< PL: in the 1930s. The faculty are ever alert, depriving the students
< PL: of all privacy. When a vulnerable fifteen-year old boy, motivated
< PL: variously by jealousy, subservience and fear, or genuine good
< PL: intentions, co-operates with his teachers' campaigns to repress all
< PL: suggestion of romance or impropriety in his own and others'
< PL: friendships, he betrays everyone most important to him. Based on the
< PL: novel "Les Amities Particulieres" by Roger Peyrefitte.

< PL: A persuasively charming film about teenage romance before it is

< PL: together in rural northeastern Japan before heading off in different
< PL: directions. The focus rests on a pair who don't quite know they're a
< PL: pair. Taro is sidelined with a broken leg, but that just gives pretty
< PL: Yoko - staying just a window away - plenty of chances to tease him into
< PL: good health and open his eyes to the possibilities of grown-up
< PL: pleasures.

< PL: and sniffs the unpleasant odor coming from Mrs. Malwina's garden next
