Jean-Pierre Léaud, Albert Rémy, Claire Maurier
1959
A young boy, left without attention, delves into a life of petty crime.
A poignant exploration of adolescence and alienation, 'The 400 Blows' captures the raw, unfiltered emotions of its protagonist. Jean-Pierre Léaud's performance is both haunting and authentic, drawing you into a world where innocence is lost and the search for identity begins. The film's stark black-and-white cinematography and its unflinching look at the human condition make it a powerful piece of cinema that resonates with the timeless charm of classic French New Wave.
