The 400 Blows























Post your responses to The 400 Blows here.  Think about how the architecture played a role in the experiences of Antoine Doinel , the protagonist.  The film has autobiographical content, based in part on experiences in the life of the director François Truffaut . 


The 400 Blows is part of the French New Wave movement and is also steeped in Auteur Theory. Roger Ebert wrote, "The cinema saved Francois Truffaut's life, he said again and again. It took a delinquent student and gave him something to love, and with the encouragement of Bazin he became a critic and then made this film by his 27th birthday." 


Include any other thoughts you have about the film in your post.

The Tenant



















Post a response to the film The Tenant. Think about how
the architecture plays a role in the film. Consider the 
symbols, sets, props, camera, lighting, how the shots are
framed, how the space frames the characters, how are the
characters developed?, what happens with the wardrobe, 
the sound is used in interesting ways... To get you started, 
think about the placement of the mirror in the apartment, 
how is it used to tell the story?
