Add to a movie listAniki-Bóbó is a 1942 Portuguese film directed by Manoel de Oliveira. It is his first feature-length film. The actors are mostly children from Oliveira's hometown, Porto. The script was adapted by Manoel de Oliveira from a short story by José Rodrigues de Freitas, Meninos Milionários (lit. Millionaire Children). Aniki-Bóbó is a rhyme from a children's game, akin to Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
The film was not very well received, but with time it gained recognition and was finally accepted as one of the most important Portuguese films of its time. In several respects, this film seems to anticipate Italian neorealism. It would be 21 years before Oliviera directed his next feature film.
Synopsis
Le film illustre les aventures et les amours de quelques gamins, entre 10 et 12 ans, dans la ville de Porto. Tous élèves dans la même classe, ils se retrouvent après l'école pour se baigner dans le port. Une rivalité se développe entre le sensible Carlitos et le plus entreprenant Eduardito, chef de la bande, pour conquérir l'attention de Teresinha, la petite fille modèle. Moins fort physiquement, Carlitos se résout à voler une poupée que convoite Teresinha pour s'attirer ses faveurs. C'est un voyage en enfance, à travers l'œil de la caméra : l'œil de la mémoire.Comments
