Review: What constitutes a children's film in the rest of the world is very different from what passes muster in the U.S. of A., as demonstrated by Bogdan Dumitrescu's 1994 German/Romanian co-production Thalassa, Thalassa, Return to the Sea (Balkan Cinema: Home Truths). When a gaggle of Romanian kids stumble across an obviously stolen but cherry Jaguar convertible in a remote barn, it's off to the (presumably Black) sea for the merry band, who spend the 42 klicks doing a gentle, non-lethal variation on Lord of the Flies (without the conch). The fine sense of wonder and empowerment as the urchins motor along to parts unknown is undone for western audiences by their indulgence in all manner of vice, from drinking to smoking and banging the car up pretty good. Not to be prudish at all, but one wonders exactly what the target audience might be for a film that isn't involving enough for the kiddies (the 90 minutes is pretty pokey) nor remotely innocent enough to pass adult muster. And there are a lot of films like this in eastern Europe, artistic orphans that don't seem to have a home much of anywhere. - Yenool

The Genesis Children
Year: 1972
Country: USA
Actors and Actresses: Max Adams, Bubba Collins, Peter Glawson, Mike Good, Greg Hill, David Johnson, Jack Good, Butch Burr
Tags: boy skinny dip
Review: In the decades since release, no similar film has generated more public interest, or conroversy, than The Genesis Children. Considered lost for almost twenty years, The Genesis Children has acquired mythic stature among art house devotees. Peter Glawson portrays the charismatic leader of a high-spirited student group on holiday in Italy. The surreal adventures of Peter and friends have been described as a free-flowing "multi-sensual symphony," bereft of traditional story line. One national critic described the boys' anarchic reveiry as a "dream-like descent from civilization into the chaos reminiscent of Lord of the Flies."

Yankee Zulu
Year: 1993
Country: South Africa
Actors and Actresses: Ruan Mandelstam, Bobo Seritsani, Mari Michael
Tags: boy skinny dip
Review: Twisting and turning full throttle, 'YANKEE ZULU' is an irreverant mix of slapstick and exciting visual gags - mostly politically incorrect!
The story begins on a remote farm in apartheid torn South Africa, where a special childhood bond has been made between a young black boy Zulu, and a young white boy Rhino - until betrayal and humiliation sours their relationship.
25 years later, Zulu and Rhino are reunited by chance. As fate would have it, Zulu is forced to masquerade as a white man and Rhino is transformed into a Black South African. This role reversal and irrepresible humour leads them from one hilarious disaster to another until finally they rediscover the friendship of their youth.
With relentless torture to the funny bone, 'YANKEE ZULU' grasps the absurd side of life in the new South Africa. - sendit.com

At Play in the Fields of the Lord
Year: 1991
Country: USA, Brazil
Actors and Actresses: Niilo Kivirinta
Tags: boy skinny dip
Review: Martin and Hazel Quarrier are small-town fundamentalist missionaries sent to the jungles of South America to convert the Indians. Their remote mission was previously run by the Catholics, before the natives murdered them all. They are sent by the pompous Leslie Huben, who runs the missionary effort in the area but who seems more concerned about competing with his Catholic 'rivals' than in the Indians themselves. Hazel is terrified of the Indians while Martin is fascinated. Soon American pilot Lewis Moon joins the Indian tribe but is attracted by Leslie's young wife, Andy. Can the interaction of these characters and cultures, and the advancing bulldozers of civilization, avoid disaster? - IMDb

Lille Virgil og Orla Frøsnapper
Year: 1980
Country: Denmark
Actors and Actresses: Bror Bødtker-Næss, Christian Honoré, Katinka Bødtker-Næss
Tags: boy skinny dip
Review: This movie is very funny in its originality. It is a film about evil "froesnappere" and "bitte lorte". It is the meaning of the word childhood, and a magical journey into the heart of a child. It flows great in a happy mood all the way; not very much action and all these things movies have to content today. It is the best movie for children ever made. - TorX0029, IMDb

Podranki
Year: 1977
Country: Soviet Union
Actors and Actresses: Aleksei Cherstvov, Zoya Yevseyeva
Tags: bathing boy, boy skinny dip
Review: The original Russian title Podranki can be translated as War Orphans. The protagonist is an adult writer who undergoes a flashback at the drop of a hat. He recalls how he was orphaned when his father was killed in World War II and his mother committed suicide. He remembers the appalling treatment afforded him by a sadistic orphanage official. And he muses over his losing contact with his brothers and sisters. This is why the grown-up writer is currently involved in lobbying for better treatment of Russian orphans. Orphans caused a minor stir in 1977 when it became the first Russian film in nearly two decades to be chosen for the Cannes Film Festival by the festival judges, rather than being submitted by the Soviets. The film did not see the light of a carbon arc in America until 1980. - Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
