To Trust Imagination: The Picture of Childhood in Lasse Hallström’s “My Life as a Dog” and Fridrik Thór Fridriksson’s “Movie Days”
Abstract
Roskowska says the two directors have managed to do a rare thing, that is to depict childhood memories. The reliable account of the small heroes, who are children but at the same time distance themselves from their experiences, are becoming in a sense a medium close to the film director-storyteller who is narrating a realistic tale about childhood. Maturing shown in the films abounds in events that are crucial for a process of socialisation. Roskowska notes, among other things, that two opposing media, i. e. traditional sagas and new media (cinema, TV and radio) are Important to the process.
