The 400 Blows

"Very modern cinematic film which is an intimate look at an unwanted child and his struggle to find a place in 1950’s Paris. Includes some highly emotional material and is semi- biographical representing the director’s childhood. The young actor is spectacular. "

"very very glad my multimedia professor exposed me to this. just a flawless film and something i would’ve never watched without that class, i just avoid old movies for some reason. i kinda find it more comfortable to stick with modern movies i guess? but this is just a total gem and i found a sense of comfort in it nonetheless. so much incredible nuance and i was beyond impressed with the directing and acting. "

"This kid delivers a great performance, the shots and writing are fucken great. Love how authentic and relatable it feels, definitely did a lot of bad **** when in my early youth too so I might be unfairly biased"

"A touching movie about boyhood with negligent parents that has nothing to do with 400 Blows. The title is a poor translation. "

"Amazing French film. Pinnacle of the New Wave."

"Loosely based on the early life of the film’s director, François Truffaut"

"One of the finest films ever made. Helped usher in the French new wave."

"Great film."

"Incredible."
