Description of this Poster Les Quatre Cents Coups
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 significant films of the French New Wave[4], it displays many of the 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 because of his rebellious behavior. Shot on location in Paris and Honfleur, it is the first in a series of five films in which Léaud portrays this semi-autobiographical character.
The 400 Blows received numerous awards and nominations, including the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival, the OCIC Prize, and a Palme d’Or nomination in 1959, and was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 1960. The film sold 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 cinematic history; in Sight & Sound’s 2012 critics’ poll of the greatest films ever made, it was ranked 39th; it was ranked 13th in the directors’ poll on the same list.
