vanjac	post #1  on April 29, 2005 - 5:30 PM PDT   I saw a film many years ago that I recall vaguely. It was related to Truffaut's "L'Enfant Sauvage", (The Wild Child), about a child locked in an apt. for years, seeing only cranes building highrises. The child would mimic the motion of the cranes with its arms. This is all I recall, and I liked the film. Does anyone recall this film and its title? Van

I forgot about this post for a couple days, so my response is delayed. I will look at the website. It was a while ago and my memory is vague, I just recall the kid moving his (or her) arms like a crane. The title may have been something like 'The Language of Cranes'. The child was 10-15 years, white, don't recall if M or F. It may have been a short film or TV special. Van
