FEATURES
72-page book OVERVIEW
The release of François Truffaut's classic portrait of troubled adolescence, 'The 400 Blows', shook world cinema to its foundations, introduced a major new director into the cinematic landscape, and inaugurated the revolutionary French New Wave. But 'The 400 Blows' did not only introduce the world to its precocious director--it also unveiled his indelible creation: the enthusiastic, melancholic, and hopelessly romantic trouble-maker Antoine Doinel. Played by the irrepressible and iconic Jean-Pierre Léaud, Doinel reappeared in four subsequent Truffaut films that knowingly portrayed his myriad frustrations and romantic entanglements, from his stormy teens through marriage, children, divorce, and adulthood. With 'The Adventures of Antoine Doinel', Criterion is proud to present Truffaut's celebrated saga in its entirety. The Criterion Collection, a continuing series of important classic and contemporary films, presents: 'The Adventures of Antoine Doinel': Five films by François Truffaut: 'The 400 Blows' 'Antoine and Colette' 'Stolen Kisses' 'Bed and Board' 'Love on the Run' EASTER EGGS
