The 400 Blows
"In fact, “The 400 Blows” became a rather pessimistic film. I can’t really say what the theme is—there is none, perhaps—but one central idea was to depict early adolescence as a difficult time of passage and not to fall into the usual nostalgia about “the good old days,” the salad days of youth."
-Francois Truffaut's last interview 2012
"Les 400 Coups" draws inspiration from Truffaut’s debut film- partly autobiographical, utterly reflective of adolescence and rebellion.
