War Of The Buttons (1962 Film)
''La Guerre des boutons'' or ''War of the Buttons'' is a 1962 French film directed by Yves Robert. War of the Buttons is about two rival kid gangs whose playful combats escalate into violence. The title derives from the buttons that are cut off from the rival team's clothes as combat trophies. The film is based on '' La Guerre des boutons'', a novel by Louis Pergaud (1882–1915), who was killed in action in World War I and whose works portray a fervent anti-militarism. The young and largely untrained actors included André Treton ("Lebrac"), Michel Isella ("l'Aztec") and Martin Lartigue ("Petit Gibus").

The film won France's Prix Jean Vigo. The fil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
