Description of this Poster The Four Hundred Blows
Les Quatre Cents Coups is a 1959 French drama film, which marks the beginning of François Truffaut's career as a director. The film, shot in DyaliScope, stars Jean-Pierre Léaud, Albert Rémy and Claire Maurier. It is one of the most notable films of the French New Wave[4], it presents many characteristic features of the movement. Written by Truffaut and Marcel Moussy, the film tells the story of Antoine Doinel, a misunderstood teenager in Paris who fights with his parents and teachers due to his rebellious behavior. Filmed on location in Paris and Honfleur, it is the first in a series of five films in which Léaud plays this semi-autobiographical character.
The 400 Blows received numerous awards and nominations, including the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival, the OCIC Award and a Palme d'Or nomination in 1959, and was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 1960. The film had 4.1 million admissions in France, making it Truffaut's most successful film in his home country.
The 400 Blows is widely considered one of the best French films in cinema history; in Sight & Sound's 2012 critics' poll of the greatest films ever made, it was ranked 39th; he was ranked 13th in the directors' poll on the same list.
