Au carrefour de la vie
Crossroads of Life
Henri Storck
België
1948
This film about juvenile delinquency was made under the authority of the United Nations, and was realized on close deliberation with representatives of this organization (Jean Benoit-Lévy, Mogens Skot-Hansen, Ladislav Kolda and Hans Burger). After extensive research, film maker Storck decided to put the subject on film in a dramatized form, because it enabled him to shed a more profound light on the subject than a 'purely' documentary form would have done. The United Nations have released in a great number of countries.
A very convincing performance and the fact that nowadays the theme in itself has not lost anything of its topicality lend the film its particular strength.
