The Boy With a Thorn in His Side, Behind the Hatred Pain Lies

Date of Review:  Jun 27, 2005
The Bottom Line: Les Quatre cents coups is a Brilliant, Majestic Debut from Francois Truffaut & One of the Landmark Films of the French New Wave.
Review: Throughout the emergence of cinema, international cinema has always been dominated by Americans. After World War II, that all began to change as Europeans began to take over. The Italians begin to a new wave of neo-realism while Sweden found a hero...

Truffaut's Masterpiece

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2000
The Bottom Line: Great introduction to French New Wave cinema.
Review: When I taught film appreciation at the high school level, one of my goals was to get my students to enjoy foreign film. I didn't want them to have an instant negative reaction the first frame an English subtitle appeared on the screen. So I used The...

Too Much Manipulative Self-indulgence

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2004
The Bottom Line: A classic of French New Wave cinema delivering a highly personal and nostalgic coming-of-age story with technical brilliance
Review: Here s another instance where I feel that I need to explain BOTH why this is a great film and why it is NOT as great as it is widely claimed to be. I ll reserve my major criticism for later, in the Assessment section below, and begin with the...

Under Pressure

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: A classic, one of the most influential films ever made. The begining of the French new wave.
Review: Before becoming directors Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard were film critics. They wrote for La Cahiers Du Cinema, and in its pages they developed the Auter theory of film making. They pioneered the idea that the director is the author of the...

The 400 Blows (1959)

Date of Review:  Apr 25, 2001
The Bottom Line: This film is highly recommended to students of film history, those who enjoy European films, and to those interested in 'troubled adolescent' themes.
Review: It took the world by storm in 1959. During a decade in which American films about troubled youth concentrated on dramatics and confrontation (Rebel Without a Cause, The Wild One), The 400 Blows took a more realistic approach. Unromantic,...

Antoine Doinel's Four Hundred Blows

Date of Review:  Oct 11, 2002
The Bottom Line: Essential viewing for anyone interested in Truffaut, the French New Wave, and foreign cinema.
Review: If ever there was a film that can stir the emotions of the viewer, than it is Francois Truffaut's "The Four Hundred Blows". This classic, semi-autobiographical film helped to usher in the French New Wave and launched Truffaut's successful and all...

A classic not to be missed

Date of Review:  Sep 21, 1999
Review: I first saw 400 Blows in a film appreciation class in college. The professor was a huge Kubrick fan so I was surprised to see this film included in his class syllabus.

400 Blows is truly a classic of the French cinema period. The story of a...

Truffaut's semi-autobiographical classic.

Date of Review:  May 12, 2000
Review: Is there anyone who can't in their heart identify at least in some way with Antoine Doinel, the main character in "400 Blows"? This is the question that I find myself asking whenever I see this movie, because even though I definitely wouldn't...

Mischievious Miracle

Date of Review:  Sep 21, 2000
Review: And so began the French New Wave as we came to know it. With The 400 Blows (Les Quatre Cents Coup), Francois Truffaut jumpstarted the newly formed French New Wave, a filmmaking style of intense personal films that remained stylistically different...

Meet Antoine Doinel...

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2000
Review: Film is, perhaps, the most engrossing and encompassing of all the visual arts. The purpose of any good film is to draw us into the life or lives of the character(s), to elicit an emotional response to what we are viewing, and to make us hungry for...
