The 400 Blows | Ciné-Salon | Jan 15, 2021



The 400 Blows (Les Quatre Cents Coups)

Directed by François Truffaut • 1959 • France
Starring Jean-Pierre Léaud, Albert Rémy, Claire Maurier

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 (© Criterion).
