J'ADORE ANTOINE DOINEL! i am officially mesmerized by françoise truffaut’s most adorable character, Antoine doinel, the nonchalantly mischievous yet innocent pre-pubescent boy from his film the 400 blows (les quatre cents coup). his charm transcended generations and even you see the film 30 years after its premier you will still find Antoine doinel’s beyond irresistible. In other words, he is soooo cute!!
Video below is one of my favorite scenes in the film. It was when doinel was interviewed by the resident psychologist of the juvenile institution where he was sent for stealing his typewriter from his father’s office. FYI: according to truffaut, the scene is entirely unscripted. He only told jean-pierre leaud (the boy portraying doinel) to improvise his own answers to all the questions. See the sincerity in the boy’s eyes? Genuine!
