DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
François Truffaut France

His semi-autobiographical film 'The 400 Blows' remains the definitive exploration of youthful rebellion and mischief through the eyes of an alienated schoolboy.

 Hirokazu Kore-eda Japan

He captures the nuanced mischief and moral complexity of childhood in films like 'Shoplifters' and 'Nobody Knows,' examining how young people navigate rules and consequences.
