Inspired by the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum's feature, I decided to watch this one from Francois Truffaut. It seemed to be a retrospective view on the trials and tribulations of miss-spent youth. Although it does not sugar-coat the story. If this is indeed a semi-autobiographic, Truffaut did not try to justify his past. Filmed with the backdrop of 1959 Paris, it was well worth the time, even if it does hurt to watch Antoine alienating himself from the only people that are really obliged to even care about him.
