400 Blows (1959)

Mid-Autumn: turtlenecks, classrooms, and falling leaves. Ah, where do we begin the season? Perhaps none are more apt than scenes from François Truffaut's masterpiece "Les Quatre Cents Coups," or, "400 Blows" (1959). It opens with traveling and dissolving shots of gritty, romantic Parisien streets (a cinematic technique uncommon at the time), creating nuances of the new and the wistful that this season brings along.

After watching this spectacular instance of the French New Wave, don't forget to take a look at the "Hitchcock/ Truffaut" (2015) documentary as well.
