The 400 Blows (The Criterion Collection) Summary Released In 1959, François Truffaut's First Feature, the 400 Blows (les Quatre Cents Coups), Is Also His Most Personal. Based On His Own Stormy Childhood, the 400 Blows Unsentimentally Portrays Aloof Parents, Oppressive Teachers, Petty Crime, And A Friendship That Would Last A Lifetime. The Film Marks Truffaut's Passage From Leading Critic Of The French New Wave To His Emergence As One Of Europe's Most Brilliant auteurs.

Francois Truffaut's first feature was this 1959 portrait of Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud), a boy who turns to petty crime in the face of neglect at home and hard times at a reform school. Somewhat autobiographical for its director, the film helped usher in the heady spirit of the French New Wave, and introduced the Doinel character, who became a fixture in Truffaut's movies over the years. Poignant, exhilarating, and fun (there's a parade of cameo appearances from some of the essential icons and directors from the movement), this film is an important classic. --Tom Keogh
