The 400 Blows

Spend some time in the life of 14-year-old Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud). Conteding with aloof parents, oppressive teachers and a predilection for petty crime, Antoine is a loner on the brink of rebellion – but he finds himself buoyed along the way by a touching friendship, a love of cinema, and the hope of escape.

A masterpiece of the French New Wave, The 400 Blows is the debut feature from François Truffault, and a defining story of childhood told with fluidity, poignancy, and cinematic magic.
