L'Enfance nue
François Truffaut was a keen supporter of director Maurice Pialat's first feature, which recalls The 400 Blows in its semi-autobiographical story of a young boy lashing out at life as he’s passed from one foster family to another. When he is placed in the home of an elderly couple, he at last discovers a kind of peace, and can begin to discover the world.
