The 400 Blows

François Truffaut made his feature debut with this stunning film that also is one of the films that started the French New Wave movement. The story of a troubled boy who's facing problems at school and home that spins out of control. One of the most honest depictions of youths ever captured on film. Truffaut liberated cinema from any theatrical confinements by using actual locations in and out side along with the performances. Jean-Pierre Léaud's astonishing performance made Truffaut to make four more films about Antoine Doinel. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
