Les Quatre Cents Coups, which actually refers to an expression that roughly translates to "raising hell", was a very interesting character study and period study of late 50's Paris. I found out after watching this film that it is the first of 5 in the Antoine Doinel (the main character) cycle that director Francois Truffaut has done all with the same actor that played Doinel in this film! It is also one of the first films of the French New Wave, a genre that I know next to nothing about.
