• Argent de Poche, L' [Small Change] directed by François Truffaut (1976)

  [7/10]

  "François Truffaut returns to filming a classroom full of children with the theme that children exist in a state of grace -- they pass untouched through dangers that would destroy an adult."

• Choristes, Les [The Chorus] directed by Christophe Barratier (2004)

  [7/10]

  "I generally don't like warm-fuzzy feel-good movies, but this one handles the plot well, develops the characters in a believable way, and has some pleasant music along the way."

• Quatre Cents Coups, Les [The 400 Blows] directed by François Truffaut (1959)

  [10/10]

  "Every time I watch François Truffaut's Les Quatre Cents Coups (The 400 Blows), I have scenes of the main character Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud) running through my head for days."
