"Our New Wave would never have come into being if it hadn't been for the young Morris Engel...with his fine Little Fugitive."-Francois Truffaut Little Fugitive is widly regarded as one of the most influential and enjoyable films of the American independent cinema, Little Fugitive is an utterly charming fable that poetically captures the joys and wonders of childhood. When a seven-year-old boy (Richie Andrusco) is tricked into believing he killed his older brother, he gathers his meager possessions and flees to New York’s nether wonderland: Coney Island. Upon and beneath the crowded boardwalk, Joey experiences a day and night filled with adventures and mysteries, resulting in a film that is refreshingly spontaneous and thoroughly delightful. Hailed by critics as a groundbreaking cinematic feat, Little Fugitive won the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival, played in nearly 5,000 theatres in the U.S. and is now recognized as a classic of American independent film. Also in this boxset: The two other films bij Morris Engel: LOVERS AND LOLLIPOPS, about the reaction of a seven-year-old girl to her mom’s new boyfriend and WEDDINGS AND BABIES, a ittersweet tale of love, hope and sacrifice, staged to perfection amid the sidewalks and storefront apartments of New York’s Little Italy.
