A series of twelve television programs, this now legendary work summons up a funny, frightening image of contemporary France through interviews with two children (the "deux enfants" of the title), Camille and Arnaud, who are asked existential questions-and others, such as why the cleaning woman gets paid but mother does not. The questioner is Robert Linard, actually Godard with a markedly Swiss accent. Parables and politics, metaphysics and metaphors, science fiction and anthropology, the opinions of specialists and the words of innocents all combine in frank, funny attempts to assume the viewpoint of children, to see how the everyday world operates on given truths. If Roland Barthes replaced Art Linkletter on Kids Say the Darnedest Things, you might get something like this great work.
