A declaration of love to the children!
2 April 2000
"Ca commence aujourd'hui" is a poetic film without poetry: Tavernier narrate the fictitious story in sober, cold, unspectacular pictures, that nevertheless move to tears.

The social and emotional cruelties are not shown, but they are always existent and take shape in the mind of the spectator. Tavernier succeeds excellent in connecting individual and group destinies to portray a society that query the right of some children to exist. It's a very impressing and important film, because of its clear moral and unconditional declaration of love to the children.
