    The male protagonist's brain sounds and actions are completely separated. In "Night Action", the male protagonist said that in the middle of the chess finals in the 1920s, there was a very clever technique to checkmate the opponent. The players did not expect it. in...

    One such crime story, in the French New Wave, that Truffaut deals with so emotionally, full of humor, the longing for love and the grief trapped in...

    The film is based on a novel by American author David Goodis. In this film, Truffaut pays tribute to the idol Hitchcock and adds French romance to American melodramas. There are many brilliant strokes. The whole film is known for creating a suspenseful atmosphere, and the characterization is also quite skillful. Rufus's second directorial...

    It feels like one of Truffaut's early films that is not very mature. The author wants to try the direction of "author's film". It is a noir film on the surface, but in fact, he wants to talk about the love between men and women, and both sides of it are half-baked. I just like the humor in the movie. The person being chased meets a stranger on the street, and the latter will talk about his wife: "Looking at her production, I suddenly feel in love with her." And of course, the kidnappers...

    Truffaut himself has an inferiority complex, so in the film, the pianist bought many books to overcome inferiority complex in the bookstore, which is actually a psychological portrayal of the director himself. Personally, I think the structure of this film is not very obvious, but there is one section that I think is more characteristic, that is, the montage used by the hero and heroine lying on the bed is very...

    Who is better, Woody Allen or Francois Truffaut

    Who is better, Woody Allen or François Truffaut? Maybe they shouldn't be compared together.
    I watched "Shooting the Pianist" today. I had never heard of this film until I bought it last night. Narratively speaking, though, both of them are equally invincible, and I think Truffaut should be better...."

    Childish Truffaut with his own sorrows

    If it is an American noir film, it will never be so scattered and trivial, and it will not be so scattered and trivial that a clue will suddenly follow a certain character. Only in Truffaut's film world can it be so unrestrained and break through all the shackles of convention. Unlike a...
