Tuffaut's 400 Blows


400 Blows is about a young boy named Antoine Doinel, as he seemingly digs himself deeper and deeper in a life of lies, robbery and loneliness. This film however is one of the leading films of the French New Wave era. This was a style of film that rejected normal cinematic form. This film however speaks to a few different models of film theory. I think that this film fits in to the realist theory as the movie is not a happy and bright one. I also thought this movie was very slow to begin with but it did pick up toward the end. In the end it is a very good movie
