The 400 Blows (Truffaut, 1959): Prince Charles Cinema, 3.35pm
This is a 35mm screening and is also being shown on December 12th.
Chicago Reader review:
'More conventional than Godard and more sentimental than Chabrol,
Francois Truffaut spearheaded the breakthrough of the French New Wave
with this highly autobiographical first feature (1959). Jean-Pierre
Leaud is the wide-eyed boy who flees his battling parents only to find
himself irrevocably alone. Distinguished by its intensity of feeling and
freewheeling use of the wide-screen frame, the film ranks among
Truffaut's best.'
