"The 400 Blows" turns 50

From the Criterion.com:
"It was the shot heard round the world: the freeze-frame of Jean-Pierre Léaud's Antoine Doinel standing alone at the ocean, staring back at the camera, at the climax of François Truffaut's The 400 Blows unofficially launched the French New Wave. And it was fifty years ago this week (May 4, 1959) that The 400 Blows made its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, forever changing cinema."


One of my favorite films ever - Criterion is selling it for $5 less. Thus, I am buying it. You should too.
