Description
Cast: Jean-Pierre Leaud, Claire Maurier, Albert Rémy
This landmark nouvelle vague classic, loosely based on Truffaut’s own troubled childhood, introduced filmgoers to the enduring character of Antoine Doinel, touchingly played by Leaud in what became, literally, the role of a lifetime. This first of Truffaut’s five Doinel films remains the most impactful and best-loved. A new 4K restoration will be screened.
