should be seen and contrasted with Barry Lyndon (1975).

The Wild Child is set in France around 1800, and its photography recalls vividly the realism of the French painter Jean-Louis David (1748-1825).
Indeed, it is my present understanding that Francois Truffaut intended the movie to capture the remarkable period of confluence in French painting and French natural science and mathematics around 1800. And as far as I know the movie always has been unanimously considered one of Truffaut's masterpieces.
If you create or love black-and-white photography, or are an admirer of the great French director Francois Truffaut, or greatly appreciate late 18th century French realist art, do not miss The Wild Child. It was available from Netflix on 05.04.2011.

Barry Lyndon is set in Ireland and England from the 1750's and its photography recalls vividly the sometimes dark or misty late eighteenth century art exemplified by the works of Joseph Wright of Derby.
