A semi-autobiographical project by John Boorman about a nine-year-old boy called Bill as he grows up in London during the blitz of World War II. For a young boy, this time in history was more of an adventure, a total upheaval of order, restrictions and discipline. The liberating effect of the war on the women left behind. And the joy when Hitler blows up their school. Directed and Written by John Boorman, the movie was nominated for 5 Oscars and had 16 wins and 29 nominations.
(1987 PG-13 1h 53m).
