🖤 An angelic exterior masks a hell-bent appetite for violence — a stark contrast between the protagonist’s innocent appearance and their rebellious actions.

👋 Hello guys — we’re going way back in time to a French coming-of-age classic and the directorial debut of François Truffaut. The film received widespread acclaim on release, earned numerous nominations, and is now regarded as one of the greatest films ever made — as well as Truffaut’s most successful film in his home country.

The premise follows thirteen-year-old Antoine (Jean-Pierre Léaud) can’t seem to do anything right. Scolded at home and targeted at school, luck never falls his way. When it all becomes too much, he abandons everything and takes his chances on the streets of Paris. By turns joyful and bitterly hard, this fragile freedom leads to a painful, poignant conclusion.

We’ll be meeting at the Picturehouse Central Bar (upstairs) — please collect your ticket before heading in. We’ll then head up to Screen 5 (I’ll be in seat E5, but feel free to sit wherever you like). After the film, we’ll reconvene at the bar for drinks, a discussion of this classy French classic, and a Letterboxd score.

Looking forward to seeing you all.
See you then,
Faheem
