The 400 blows
Original title: Les Quatre Cents Coups
Recommended3/4 · Good. I would recommend it, with the caveats in the review.
A French drama that follows a 14 yo boy who struggles through life. It's a well-executed character-focused drama because even though there are no great events or consequences, you care for the main character and the metaphorical 400 blows he receives from his parents, school, friends, associates.

What it's about
For young Parisian boy Antoine Doinel, life is one difficult situation after another. Surrounded by inconsiderate adults, including his neglectful parents, Antoine spends his days with his best friend, Rene, trying to plan for a better life. When one of their schemes goes awry, Antoine ends up in trouble with the law, leading to even more conflicts with unsympathetic authority figures.
