A while back Amadeus wrote on the subject of prepubescent gender differences...
In some cases that's more true than in others, and it reminded me of a short I had heard of. Finally got a copy on DVD...Amadeus wrote:I really don't see the difference. Put two kids side by side ages 7 to 11. Put a wig on the little boy, cut the little girls hair, slap a thong on 'em, see what you got.
For six weeks in a young girl's life, she pretended to be a boy in a swim class. Crossing the gender line at 7 provided a strange window into the world of prepubescent masculinity. It's explored with lyrical insight and surreal beauty in this startlingly lovely little drama from Quebec.
