“One of the most beautiful films that I have ever seen.”
—Akira Kurosawa

“Truffaut is one of the seminal autobiographical filmmakers of our times.”
—Sense of Cinema

François Truffaut’s first film and the beginning of his autobiographical Antoine Doinel cycle. Thirteen-year-old Antoine Doinel is mischievous and adventurous, badly in need of a creative outlet. We follow along as he ditches school to ride the “Wheel of Death” at a carnival and engage in petty theft until his rebellion catches up with him. A seminal work of Cinema. In 35mm.
