Children are often much more conservative than adults give them credit for. Many prefer orderliness over chaos, predictability over confusion, and custom over trends that come and go.
"La Faute a Fidel!" (released in Japan as "Zenbu Fidel no Sei") is a beautifully observed tale of just how staunchly old guard children can be.
The director is Julie Gavras, who switched lanes from documentaries to make this dazzling feature debut.
