Double Feature: THE 400 BLOWS (LES QUATRE CENTS COUPS), Janus Films, 99 min. Dir. François Truffaut. Jean-Pierre Léaud plays a young boy struggling against the constrictions of bourgeois conformity in this deeply personal masterpiece. Both a coming-of-age classic and the greatest feature debut since Welles’ CITIZEN KANE 18 years earlier, this, along with Godard’s BREATHLESS, is one of the films that announced the arrival of the French New Wave to an international cinema audience. In French with English subtitles. [35mm]

STOLEN KISSES (BAISERS VOLÉS), 1968, Janus Films, 90 min. Dir. François Truffaut. In the third Antoine Doinel film, Antoine (Jean-Pierre Léaud) returns to Paris after a dishonorable discharge from the army. He finds himself trying a series of ridiculous jobs (including private detective) as he falls hopelessly in love. Lyrical and nostalgic, this is one of Truffaut’s most romantic films, which is really saying something. With Delphine Seyrig. In French with English subtitles. [35mm]
