Fantastic, witty, clever and deeply memorable version of Gunther Grass' analogous drama about an intellectual boy who refuses to grow in protest at the world around him (it's actually an attack on those who stayed passive in Nazi Germany). Buñuel favourite Jean-Claude Carrière adapted Grass' monster of a book.
