My Childhood (1972)

The first part of Bill Douglas' influential trilogy harks back to his impoverished upbringing in early-'40s Scotland. Cinema was his only escape - he paid for it with the money he made from returning empty jam jars - and this escape is reflected most closely at this time of his life as an eight-year-old living on the breadline with his half-brother and sick grandmother in a poor mining village.

My personal favorite part of the trilogy focuses on surroundings which a young heart can't understand, yet it seeks magic in any corner possible despite the landscapes devoid of any peace. However, the beauty of nature remains, awaiting for a reconstruction that may never arrive. 99/100

The first film in the Bill Douglas trilogy, followed by My Ain Folk (1973) and My Way Home (1978). This is an autobiographical account of Bill Douglas' childhood, I don't know how much licence was taken with the truth, but this is a sad, sad account of a childhood where the child's only affection seemed to come from a stranger who didn't even speak the same language. The film is in black and white and has little sound, all of which helps convey a great impoverishment.

Nur 48 Minuten lang, aber neben Truffauts LES QUATRE CENTS COUPS vielleicht der grÃ¶Ã?te Film Ã¼ber Kindheit Ã¼berhaupt. Douglas ist ein Dichter, ein Minimalist, und nicht zuletzt absolut schonungslos. Bar jeglicher VerklÃ¤rung, wirft er uns in seiner autobiographischen Trilogie in die HÃ¶lle einer Jugend in einem schottischen Bergarbeiterkaff. Grausamkeit, Schmutz, Elend, Hass, und vor allem die absolute Machtlosigkeit. Ein Abstieg in die HÃ¶lle, den man nicht mehr vergisst.

A brilliant film that truely favours memory and feeling over story or form. The production values are brilliantly overcome in pursuit and achievement of Douglas' aims.

One of the most evocative and personel visions of childhood. Impressionistic, strange and wonderful. Do what ever you must to track down a copy.
