The 400 Blows
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: François Truffaut
1959 / 99min / 35mm
Truffaut’s semi-autobiographical feature debut, which introduced audiences the world over to Jean-Pierre Léaud in the role of truant Parisian adolescent Antoine Doinel, is one of the keystone works of the French New Wave, a penetrating, compassionate study in pubescent turmoil and the slippery slope into delinquency given a melancholic majesty thanks to cinematographer Henri Decaë’s black-and-white “Franscope” photography and Jean Constantin’s plaintive score. “I have never been so deeply moved by a picture.”—Jean Cocteau
