The 400 Blows - Les Quatre cents coups (1959)
Synopsis
François Truffaut’s first feature, The 400 Blows (Les quatre cents coups), is also his most personal.
Told through the eyes of Truffaut’s life-long cinematic counterpart, Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud), The 400 Blows sensitively re-creates the trials of Truffaut’s own difficult childhood, unsentimentally portraying aloof parents, oppressive teachers, petty crime, and a friendship that would last a lifetime.
Cast: Jean-Pierre Léaud, Claire Maurier, Albert Remy, Guy Decomble, Georges Flamant, Patrick Auffay, Jeanne Moreau, Jean-Claude Brialy, Philippe de Broca, Jacques Demy, Jean Douche
Cannes (Competition): Best Director, OCIC Award, London, AFI FEST (Tributes), San Francisco
