Next Unit: Foreign Language Films

The next film we will be studying is called Les Quatre Cents Coups, by François Truffaut. As evident by the French title, this is a foreign film. It was released in 1959 in France, and the entire dialogue is French (we'll be watching it with English subtitles). Be prepared to bring your knowledge of Hollywood films into the class, for it will be used as a springboard to jump into and compare the foreign films. For those of you who want a head start, you may want to check out these links here: What is a foreign film? Where can I see foreign films? Why are we watching Les Quatre Cents Coups?
