The 400 Blows / Les quatre cents coups (1959)
Crime | Drama
François Truffaut first feature, The 400 Blows (Les quatre cents coups), is also his most personal. Told through the eyes of Truffaut life-long cinematic counterpart, Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud), The 400 Blows sensitively re-creates the trials of Truffaut own difficult childhood, unsentimentally portraying aloof parents, oppressive teachers, petty crime, and a friendship that would last a lifetime. The film marks Truffaut passage from leading critic of the French New Wave to his emergence as one of Europe most brilliant auteurs.
