Synopsis:



The Criterion Collection

The release of Francois Truffaut's classic portrait of troubled adolescence, The 400 Blows, shook world cinema to its foundations, introduced a major new director into the cinematic landscape, and inaugurated the revolutionary French New Wave. But The 400 Blows did not only introduce the world to its precocious director-it also unveiled his indelible creation: the enthusiastic, melancholic, and hopelessly romantic trouble-maker Antoine Doinel. Played by the irrepressible and iconic Jean-Pierre Leaud, Doinel reappeared in four subsequent Truffaut films that knowingly portrayed his myriad frustrations and romantic entanglements, from his stormy teens through marriage, children, divorce and adulthood. With The Adventures of Antoine Doinel, Criterion is proud to present Truffaut's celebrated saga in its entirety.
