Life in London during the 'Blitz' as see through a young boy's eyes. Directed by John Boorman, not a lot happens in this war-time family drama but the story and characters are interesting and some of the imagery is excellent. Sebastian Rice-Edwards is very good as the 10-year old who finds both excitement and fear as the German bombers pound the city. I found the scenes with the gang of kids a bit off-putting - I suspect that combing through wreckage of people's homes for valuables would be considered looting, otherwise I enjoyed the film.
