PLEASE NOTE: there is a major difference between the scale with which modern movies are being judged and the "classics scale" with which the...well...good ones are being judged.

the 400 blows (truffaut, 1959)

a very well written, beautifully shot and directed, and fantastically scored film--it wasn't until about 3/4 of the way through that it clicked what makes this a classic instead of just a very competent film: it is extraordinarily human.

classics scale: 6/10
