“A portrait of the artist as a little shit, Francois Truffaut’s debut feature The 400 Blows is a bracingly unsentimental look back at the director’s juvenile delinquent days. The kid was quite a handful. As far as great filmmakers’ fictionalized childhood stand-ins go, Antoine Doniel would probably steal Sammy Fabelman’s lunch money and stuff him in a locker.” – Crooked Marquee, 12/09/2022
