Description
Film critic Francois Truffaut released his ground breaking, semi-autobiographical first film in 1959. His alter ego, Jean-Pierre Leaud, plays Truffaut at 12 and would go on to do the same for 20 years in four other motion pictures.
"The Four Hundred Blows" is a key film in the French New Wave. Like his fellow French director sickly Jean Vigo (1905-1934) Truffaut (1932-1984) passed away far too young.

"Blows" ends with a justly famous freeze frame of the protagonist "in which
Truffaut conveys both promise and sadness, and demonstrates that the cinema offers no easy answers to the problems of living."
