About this product

Product Information

A touching and philosophical film, set in the 18th century and based on the diaries of real-life French doctor Jean Itard. Itard fought authorities for the right to take charge of the social and intellectual education of a "wild child"--a young boy who somehow had managed to survive, alone and uncared for, in nature. Although most of the medical establishment felt that the child, who could not speak and often exhibited violent behavior, was hopelessly retarded, the tenacious Itard, with techniques sometimes kind and frequently cruel, managed to prove them wrong.

  • The Wild Child, based on fact, is a fine movie by Truffaut about a feral child. it is well worth viewing.

    The Wild Child is an extremely interesting story based on a factual account of a feral child found in the forest in France in the late 18th century. Francois Truffaut has made a fine movie of a doctor, played by Truffaut himself, who attempted to civilize this child and prepare him to live in society.
