"François Truffaut's iconoclastic feature debut and one of the most enduring examples of the French New Wave." (Film4) THE 400 BLOW screens Wednesday, Nov. 19 at 7pm at Moxie Cinema - part of the Essential Arthouse series. This series showcases “essential arthouse” films everyone should see on the big screen. Tickets are $11/Adults, $9/Seniors & Students, $7/ Drury Students, Faculty, & Staff, and Free for Members - on sale now!
François Truffaut’s first feature is also his most personal. Told through the eyes of Truffaut’s cinematic counterpart, Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud), The 400 Blows sensitively re-creates the trials of Truffaut’s own childhood, unsentimentally portraying aloof parents, oppressive teachers, and petty crime. The film marked Truffaut’s passage from leading critic to trailblazing auteur of the French New Wave. (NR, 99 min.)
