Continuing our season of classic films, Francois Truffaut's directorial debut can certainly be included in this category. The film is one of the defining films of the French New Wave, and widely considered as one of the best French films in film history. Antoine Dionel is an adolescent growing up in Paris. Misunderstood by his parents for playing truant from school and stealing and tormented in school for discipline problems by his teacher, Antoine frequently runs away from both places.

The film will be introduced by Jon Davies, a tutor in French Cinema and an Associate of the British Film Institute. Jon has been hosting the popular monthly 'French Impressions' screenings locally at Watermans for over twenty years.
