Truffaut's 'The 400 Blows' – watch free today!
Follow-up to 7 classic French films in 7 days @ The Auteurs from The Story of Hamid-o
I'm often sceptical when it comes to classic French cinema - I tend to be more a fan of German/Weimar pre-war films and then (guilty I know!) American post-war cinema. I do, however, have respect for many of the French films I've seen (Le Petit Soldatsprings to mind).
I'd been meaning to watch more New Wave cinema for quite some time and then I had the opportunity to do it with The Auteur's Stella Artois online film festival (18+, UK Only). I didn't regret it. Its cinematography, story and performances are completely spot-on. Excellent.

7 classic French films in 7 days @ The Auteurs
Writing about web page http://www.theauteurs.com/stellaartois
Stella Artois is bringing French classics of the '60s to The Auteurs for 7 days starting tomorrow. This is UK only and do remember to drink responsibly!
I remember studying French and German cinema back at Warwick for a while as part of my History degree. It gave me a better insite into classic films in general (and if you're doing History now I think the module was History of Germany) - we covered Weimer films and I wrote an essay on the post-war cinematic reactions of France and Germany.
These gilms are from the '60s and the roster is:
Lola - 1961
The 400 Blows - 1959
Jules and Jim - 1962
Masculin féminin: 15 faits précis -1966
Vivre sa vie - 1962
La Jetee - 1962
Hiroshima, mon amour - 1959
