French Film Festival - "The 400 Blows / Les Quatre Cents Coups"

The Department of World Languages, Literatures and Cultures, the OSL, SLP & MPB will be showing "The 400 Blows / Les Quatre Cents Coups" by Francois Truffaut as part of the 2016 French Film Festival. 

For young Parisian boy Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud), life is one difficult situation after another. Surrounded by inconsiderate adults, including his neglectful parents (Claire Maurier, Albert Remy), Antoine spends his days with his best friend, Rene (Patrick Auffray), trying to plan for a better life. When one of their schemes goes awry, Antoine ends up in trouble with the law, leading to even more conflicts with unsympathetic authority figures.
