I only saw this film relatively recently. I am not that well up on the Nouvelle Vague. What struck me at first was how this was 'Paris in a movie' but the side of Paris cameras rarely catch. Away from the glamour of the City of Light.
You follow Antoine through a pretty bleak existence. The empathy flows pretty much from the start. It has a great ending which will keep you and your fellow viewers discussing it for a while.
I have seen some of the follow up films but this is the only Antoine Doinel story that I'm really fond of. I should stop referring to it as Les Quatres Cents Loups with my terrible French. As my dad says, that would be an entirely different film ;-)

I like the fact that we both mentioned Les 400 coups in this section... except that it's not a foreign film for me... :-(
Your Dad is right by the way! Les 400 loups would be a very different film, I would love to see that one though!!
wolves are my fav. animals! :-)
