Here's a story for you!! The last 7 weeks I lived in Paris studying French New Wave films. It was incredible; and as I road through the city on my bike, I listened to this Ben Kweller song numerous times. When I returned home today, I randomly searched YouTube and found this! What a very very strange coincidence! I can't get over it. Thanks for this oddly reminiscent memory. :)
PS- You should have kept the last still frame of the boy's face! It's what makes this film so incredible!

I like it but personally i think you should put "edited by" instead of "directed by"

I don't think this is taken from a movie...it has a director at the beginning. I think this song is really calm and touching.

@atasteformusic It is definitely taken from a movie. It's a film from 1959 directed by François Truffaut called "The 400 Blows"
