Fantastically observed tale of innocence shattered. A diplomat’s young boy is witness to things he shouldn’t be when around his favorite domestic. The scenes (and sharp Graham Greene dialogue) are just glimpses from a not-quite-comprehending perspective. A little section toward the end bogs down in police procedure, but overall this is a stellar piece of work.
