What's On Tonight (Tuesday): François Truffaut's Origin Story

Via Giphy

TOP PICK

⭐ 🎥 The  400 Blows (TCM, 8:00 PM) One of the seminal films of the French New Wave and François Truffaut's directorial debut. starring Jean-Pierre Leaud as the Truffaut stand-in Antoine Daniel, a Parisian teenager with a penchant for getting in trouble - or more accurately, being misunderstood by the adults around him. As noted by Roger Ebert in his four star review, 'It is dedicated to Andre Bazin, the influential French film critic who took the fatherless Truffaut under his arm at a time when the young man seemed to stand between life as a filmmaker and life in trouble.'
