	Forbidden Games (1952)
		A stark, unadorned portrait of childhood innocence shattered by war, Rene Clement's Forbidden Games (1952) is a masterful and profound film.
		Forbidden Games is a deceptively simple story that neither idealizes nor demonizes children, but presents them as complex figures equally capable of tenderness and manipulative self-interest.
		First envisioned as a short, Forbidden Games was expanded to feature-length per the recommendation of Clement's unlikely mentor, comedian Jacques Tati.

		In these strategy and action games that are popular in the west, and on the web, the hero is American/European/Israeli, usually a member of some defense organization, whose goal is to defeat the “bad guys” who threaten the free world.
		The Forbidden Games exhibition, which opened in the Center for Digital Arts in Holon, challenges this view which is also embedded in Israeli society.
		The exhibition “Forbidden Games” is on display at the Center for Digital Arts in Holon, and is a part of the third biennial for video-art.

		Drinking games are forbidden on campus by both students of and under twenty-one years old because they promote fast consumption of alcohol which is also considered binge drinking.

		Drinking games should not be banned from campus for twenty-one year old students because they are not illegal or forbidden by any state or federal laws.

		In Forbidden Games, we watch a young girl who crosses a bridge with hundreds of other folks as they try to escape a squadron of bombers (it takes place in 1940’s war-torn France).
		But the indelible mark of Forbidden Games is the image of the girl carrying her dead dog (she refuses to believe it’s gone) through the French countryside.
		Forbidden Games is an exemplary motion picture, and this Criterion Collection DVD release does it justice.

	DVD Verdict Review - Forbidden Games: Criterion Collection
		It would be easy to see Forbidden Games as morally simple, endorsing the innocent children as opposed to the corrupted adults, but in fact the behavior of Paulette and Michel is disturbingly macabre.
		Forbidden Games was originally made in 1951 as a short film, part of an omnibus picture that was never finished; according to Peter Matthews in his booklet essay, producer Robert Dorfmann suggested that Clément expand it to feature length (in her interview, Fossey says that the suggestion came from Jacques Tati).
		Forbidden Games is a unique film, a occasionally awkward mixture of existential meditation, war movie, and satirical farce, a film about death-haunted children and their confused adaptations of adult behavior.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Forbidden Games
		Forbidden Games is, in my opinion, a great motion picture.
		She and a boy from the family with whom she takes refuge build a cemetery for animals in an old mill, and steal crosses from local graves to mark the resting places of dead animals.
		But the humor is strictly secondary; Forbidden Games is a chronicle of people in turmoil, and as such it is high tragedy indeed.

	Forbidden Games movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		The 1951 French film Forbidden Games deals with a very odd and somewhat disturbing theme, that of two children obsessed with death while World War II rages on.
		The "games" begin when Bridget wants to see her parents again, and Michel tells her that they would no longer be where they were killed at, but in a hole.
		Ponette only needed the simple, personal fact of the main character's emotional experience after the death of her mother, and perhaps Forbidden Games only needed the personal details too, instead of placing the story in the context of a war.

	DVD Savant Review: Forbidden Games
		Forbidden Games is a true classic, one of those films one doesn't forget.
		In different hands Forbidden Games could easily be rendered as a perverse satire or subversive tract along the lines of the better works of Luis Buñuel.
		Surrounded by killing and death, Paulette invents a burial ritual for her pet and is soon conniving to get Michel to help her construct a little morbid graveyard, with crosses and other paraphernalia stolen from the churchyard.

		"Forbidden Games" was attacked and praised by adults for the same reason: because it showed children inventing happiness where none should exist.
		"Forbidden Games" was the first feature by Rene Clement; his short film on the same story was seen by the director Jacques Tati, who told him it must become a feature.
		It is funny, also sad, when Paulette fixates on every crucifix she sees, and Michel confesses the theft of some crucifixes and then pauses on his way out of the confessional to try stealing another one from the altar.

	FORBIDDEN GAMES (JEUX INTERDITS) - THE CRITERION COLLECTION DVD
		René Clément's Forbidden Games is perhaps the best place to begin when comparing the Nouvelle Vague to its nemesis, the Tradition of Quality.
		Clément, at the very least, refuses to say die: he doesn't give in to the aestheticized masochism that was both the biggest strength and most maddening limitation of his replacements.
		The Criterion Collection comes through again with a stellar transfer of Forbidden Games, albeit one whose windowboxing has stirred up controversy among those for whom overscan is not an issue and maximizing resolution is a priority.

	Forbidden Games (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Odd yet subdued, perverse yet sweet, joyous yet sorrowful, Rene Clement's "Forbidden Games" is a complex film that deals with a complex subject: Death.
		The "Forbidden Games" of the title, lurid as it is, however, comes when Paulette, who has apparently had no religious training (being a "Parisenne"), and Michel, who "knows his cataclysm well," begin to build a complex cemetery in an abandoned mill.
		"Forbidden Games" is very complex and is often interpreted as an anti-war statement but I think it is much more than simply that.

	Forbidden Games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jeux interdits (Forbidden Games), is a 1952 French language motion picture based on the François Boyer novel, Les Jeux Inconnus about which Hollywood film critic Leonard Maltin said: "Jeux interdits is almost unquestionably the most compelling and intensely poignant drama featuring young children ever filmed."
		The film recounts the death of five-year-old Paulette's (Brigitte Fossey) parents and of her pet dog while fleeing a Nazi air raid in Paris, France during World War II.
		She quickly becomes attached to Michael as her big brother and the two attempt to cope with the death and destruction that surrounds them by secretly building a small cemetery where they bury her dog and then start to bury other animals, stealing crosses from the local graveyard.

		The truth about Forbidden Games is that it is neither worth all of its initial praise but nor is it deserving of being ignored.
		At its heart, Forbidden Games is a poignant coming of age tale with some solid if unoriginal observations about the way we all once saw the world around us.

		One of the best films ever about war and its effects, FORBIDDEN GAMES also speaks beautifully to the need of children to construct their own fantasy world away from adult supervision.
		FORBIDDEN GAMES derives most of its power from Clement's painstakingly methodical direction and the remarkable performances of the two child leads.
		Seeing war through the eyes of children who cope with its atrocities by constructing their own little game of death was a brilliant move--it seems morbid and grotesque to all the adults, but the problem is that they are the ones who really lack understanding and respect.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Forbidden Games: The Criterion Collection
		Death permeates every frame of René Clément's beautiful, assured Forbidden Games (1952), opening with Germans bombing a parade of refugees fleeing Paris during the 1940 Blitzkrieg, the families scrambling for cover as Luftwaffe planes strafe the ground around them.
		Based on the novel The Secret Game by Francois Boyer, Clément originally planned this project as a short film but was encouraged by Jacques Tati to turn it into a full-length feature.
		The result is a picture that not only addresses the difficulty of the human mind to grasp the horrors of war, but also one that brilliantly explores the disconnected yet deeply felt inner lives of children — the fantasy world that Michel and Paulette create through their "game" helps Paulette work through her uncomprehending grief.

		One of the first films to see the horrors of war through the eyes of children, Forbidden Games was a critical smash, winning prizes from the New York Film Critics, the British Academy, and the Venice Film Festival.
		Adapted by Francois Boyer, director Rene Clement, and two others from Boyer's novel, the story focuses on Paulette (Brigitte Fossey), a five-year-old refugee from Paris taken in by a peasant family after her parents are killed during a bombardment of a civilian convoy.
		Unsentimental and yet heartbreaking, Forbidden Games demonstrates the strategies of children who witness war to deal with the constant presence of death.

		The developers have used real faces to texture the characters in the game, and often employ a grainy, dusty effect to give the game a very real, gritty effect.
		The eerie sound is a combination of echoes and chanting as part of the 'score', with the effects of heavy breathing and footsteps.
		The structure and design of the game dictates that usually, you'll have to avoid and hide from the zombies and monsters, instead of confront them, but this is spectacular survival horror action.

		Or, more specifically, shifts the survival horror formula more into the realm of stealth gaming, while throwing some innovation into the mix — as well as expecting patience and commitment from the gamer.
		This isn't gaming as lightweight diversion, this is gaming as something pretty demanding.
		(A good sense of in-game spatial arrangements is necessary.) It's an intriguing, disconcerting device, but, when you're thrown into the game's setting, one that demands a lot more mental effort.
