The 400 Blows (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] Summary 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 Difficult 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.

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
