Just watched The Childhood of a Leader on Netflix, and...

[Mark Kohut]

I, too,will have to catch it AND I suggest you'd all never fully forget the
Sartre story,
conceptually thinner and therefore maybe too schematic rather than detailed
compared to the movie.
(just hearing about this movie reminds me of what some critic or auteur
once said: The best movies
can be made from short stories, seldom novels, since the movie-from-novel
MUST reduce. )

But,
I think I haven't quite forgotten it and it has helped shaped my notion(s)
of fascism,
such as they are.
