François Truffaut
Les 400 Coups - BACK TO SCHOOL
Freedom is fleeting—but unforgettable.
In postwar Paris, young Antoine Doinel struggles with neglect at home and misunderstanding at school, finding brief freedom in the streets. Truffaut’s landmark debut captures adolescence with raw honesty, marking the birth of the French New Wave.
In het naoorlogse Parijs probeert de jonge Antoine Doinel te ontsnappen aan een liefdeloos thuis en strenge schoolmeesters, en vindt hij korte momenten van vrijheid op straat. Truffauts iconische debuut toont de puberteit in al haar rauwe eerlijkheid en markeert het begin van de Franse Nouvelle Vague.
