Page 1 of Name that film!
General Forum
I saw this a long long time ago so I may be mixing in elements that don`t actually exist...
foreign language (french?)...
starts with a kid playing marbles, picked on by other kids so he tells them a story...and the film is mostly of the story he tells..
which is something along the lines of a bank robbery that might have involved the use of the ladder extended from a fire engine to enable them to cross over to one building from another.. robbery goes wrong / police close in on them somehow...
..eventually cut back to kid who was telling story to other kids, marbles run everywhere..film ends..
any ideas?!
`fraid not, sorry.
....it might be La Haine (Hate), an excellent frog flick starring Vincente Cassel... although I may be way off on this one but I seem to remember the lads used a ladder to escape from the cops.
dunno what the film is but i can tell you that it is definitely NOT La haine...that ends up in a very `city on fire` (or stolen by tarantino) everyone holding a gun to someone elses head.
...that`s what I thought - and it`s in black and white...
"everyone holding a gun to someone elses head."
FYI, a "mexican stand-off".
is it "the yellow baloon"?
