Sandra Hall compares John Duigan to Francois Truffaut largely because Danny Embling (Noah Taylor) seems to be becoming (at the time of print) equivalent to Truffaut's Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Leaud). That is as far as the author takes the comparison and opts for a biographical approach, detailing Duigan's early career. An interesting point is made by the author regarding the coming-of-age (hence the death of childhood) and comments on the feature of death in 'The Year My Voice Broke' (explicitly) and 'Flirting' (implicitly).
A nice change from the ommissions common in a great many newpaper reviews of 'Flirting' or 'The Year My Voice Broke'.
