Francois Truffaut: “Les Mistons”
I was out for lunch the other day with Doug Kass, another L.A. expatriate with a background in the entertainment business. I mentioned the blog to him and in particular noted the Francois Truffaut interview. Well, Doug went back home and uncovered this incredible find online: a short film Truffaut directed called Les Mistons (1957). This was two years before he directed The 400 Blows. A lovely movie which demonstrates Truffaut’s natural acumen as a director and storyteller.
Here is Part One.
