The 400 Blows (Les 400 coups) (trailer)

Thirteen-year-old Antoine Doinel tries to cope with the various forces tearing his life apart: his parents' contentious marriage (made worse by the confined space of their apartment), his own lack of interest in school, his desire to live like an adult and have pocket money, and his adolescent desire for freedom. Feeling unloved and unwanted at home, Doinel begins to rebel--only to lose what little he already had.

Le Paris gris à la fin des années cinquante. A quatorze ans, Antoine Doinel n'a que des ennuis, tant à l'école qu'à la maison. N'ayant pas fait une punition, il sèche l'école avec son copain René. Dans la rue, il voit sa mère dans les bras de son amant. Le lendemain, il doit retourner à l'école sans mot d'excuse, et s'en tire en disant à l'instituteur que sa mère est morte. Mais le mensonge est découvert.

Jean-Pierre Léaud is exceptional in this film - his spontaneity and the rebel in him, takes an amazing form in this film. My heart went out to him in the scene when his parents justify his presence. Léaud as Doinel never emotionalizes the character unless pushed to, and this is why the film is a classic!

They should make a new version of this film. 1952 is pretty old, and old movies just had to have that annoying loud background music in every scene - which I hate - to "set" the emotion/mood.
