Wild Child LE (Region B) Blu-ray ***Preorder*** 1/26

In 1798, a young boy who cannot speak, read or write is found living alone in a forest in France. Determined to integrate the child into society, Dr. Itard (François Truffaut) takes him under his wing, gives him a name, and attempts to teach him how to communicate. Based on a true story, François Truffaut’s moving tale of care, education, and connection boasts stunning black-and-white cinematography by Néstor Almendros (The Story of Adele H.) and a touching central performance by the director himself, in his first credited role in a feature film.
