The 400 Blows

UNRATED19591 hr 39 min

François Truffaut’s first feature is also his most personal. Told through the eyes of Truffaut’s cinematic counterpart, Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud), THE 400 BLOWS sensitively re-creates the trials of Truffaut’s own childhood, unsentimentally portraying aloof parents, oppressive teachers, and petty crime. The film marked Truffaut’s passage from leading critic to trailblazing auteur of the French New Wave.

Starring Jean-Pierre Léaud, Claire Maurier, Monsieur Doinel, Guy Decomble, Patrick Auffay
