Les Salades de l'amour

Category: Non-English

Not to much add in here, there's tons of features on Antoine Doinel and his adventures in Truffaut's universe. There's a lot of interviews with Truffaut himself revealing so much about the film-maker that we're not aware of.

There's also Les Mistons, Truffaut's first official short film about a group of boys who harass a young couple. Based on a novel the film has some trademark cuts and of France, this time in the country side too. Working with child actors again, you can see a decent amount of the 400 blows in this film, in fact he's improved so much for the 400 blows.

For the first time I think I was very emotional when you hear about his old screen writer friends talking about the greatness of Truffaut and the legacy he has created, the kind of films he stood for and the kind of work he had done before he started films. So much to learn from his personality.

Recommendation level: 5/5 - This is a little rare to come across but do find it if you can!
