LES QUATRE CENTS COUPS (1959)

FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT

Plot

Truffaut's first feature, the melancholy and revealing portrait (semi-autobiographical) of an adolescent boy growing up in Paris. We see the intense, destructive family background followed by an escape from reform school. Beautifully perceptive performances make this one of Truffaut's finest works.
