Description

🎥 Let’s kick off the new school year with a cult film about kids in school. And what a film! This 1959 semi-biographical master piece from the French New Wave by François Truffaut was nominated for an Oscar, as well as the Palme d’Or in Cannes, and is #9 in TimeOut’s 100 best French movies of all time ( https://www.timeout.com/paris/en/film/best-french-movies ). There are countless rankings online that put "The 400 Blows" at the top, but it’s always better to watch, or rewatch it and share your opinion with us.
