Quickie: THE 400 BLOWS (1959)
The 400 Blows (1959) — ****
Quickie Review
A young man, neglected by his selfish parents, turns to petty crime and general trouble-making in hopes of liberating himself from his tortured home life. A magnificent tale of adolescent isolation, François Truffaut’s first feature is as timeless and poignant as The Graduate in its display of a youthful viewpoint. The picturesque trip through Paris adds dramatic visual appeal to the already captivating story. Starring Jean-Pierre Léaud.
