400 Blows Review

François Truffaut’s “The 400 Blows” is evidently listed and quite personally viewed as one of the greatest films in all of foreign cinema/French. As an important film and subsequently proved to be immensely influential in the context of the French New Wave, it personally awed, amazement, and intrigued me to watch this film. Although several films in the movie do feel ongoing it gave out this ongoing vibe of what it is like being a kid almost. With Antione (the boy) sorta flashing me back to gruesome memories of how troublesome I was as a child. Not only the concept of personal relations, the way how this film was simply scripted was quite impressive. The film being simply made, yet the images stay in your mind long after the film has ended. Waking up the next day after watching this film made me think how fascinating this movie really was. Antoine cutting up at school, On the centrifuge. The happy family outing to the movies. Stealing the typewriter. Spending the night in prison. And the freeze frame at the end. Watching this movie definitely gave me excitement and is something I would definitely recommend to someone who is interested in diving into the cinematic world.
