I remember watching a movie that was similar to My Life As A Dog.  It was either French or Italian.  
I seem to remember a scene where a young boy goes up on a church roof and urinates on a priest walking by. 
I also believe there is a rescue scene as the little boy falls on the church roof.  I also believe he is befriended by a little girl.
They also have a penchant for watching funerals. The film is in color from the 70's or 80's. Can anyone Help?
I have searched titles endlessly trying to jar my memory! Thanks!
