The 400 Blows
Truffaut’s portrait of a young misfit at war with his school, his family and himself, is never sentimental but always heartrending – in the words of Godard, “rigorous and tender.” The movie was the first of four films featuring Jean-Pierre Léaud as Antoine Doinel who, over the course of 20 years, grew from beleaguered adolescent to jaded roué.
