A great classic

It has been a while since I have seen this flick and I should definitely re-watch it whenever I have the opportunity. To be honest, in the same genre, I always preferred 'A bout de souffle' but this one is not far behind and it is definitely a huge masterpiece as well. By now, I have seen a bunch of the movies directed by François Truffaut’s movies and even though he had a more satisfying career than Jean-Luc Godard, it is definitely Truffaut's best movie by far. Indeed, even though he made afterwards some impressive movies, none of them reached the level of awesomness provided by this directing debut. Of course, Jean-Pierre Léaud was just really amazing and he easily gave one of the best child perfomances ever. Basically, nothing much really happen storywise but it doesn't matter as the whole thing is just spellbinding to behold. Indeed, even though this movie is more than 50 years old, it still has quite a modern perspective and I was really able to identify with the main character who was basically going through a rather messed-up puberty. To conclude, I’m a huge fan of this movie, it is a great classic and a must-see for any movie fan.
