24. Les quatre cents coups (1959)

Režissöör: F. Truffaut
Peaosas Jean-Pierre Léaud
IMDB tärne: 8/10
Kuulus stseen

A young Parisian boy, Antoine Doinel, neglected by his derelict parents, skips school, sneaks into movies, runs away from home, steals things, and tries (disastrously) to return them. Like most kids, he gets into more trouble for things he thinks are right than for his actual trespasses. Unlike most kids, he gets whacked with the big stick. He inhabits a Paris of dingy flats, seedy arcades, abandoned factories, and workaday streets, a city that seems big and full of possibilities only to a child’s eye. Written by alfiehitchie

Ma olen teinud natuke pahasti ja vaadatud varem neid filme, kus Doinel juba täiskasvanud oli. Tegelikult on täiesti reaalne, et Antoine noorus just selline oli, ja mõni Freudi austaja saaks sellisel teemal lausa uurimustöö teha. Mina tundsin peategelase osas ära Truffaut’ enda. Ta ema tahtis aborti teha, poiss saadeti vanaema juurde, pärast tema surma tagasi ema juurde, probleemid koolis, trükimasina varastamine ja nii edasi.
Kui ma saaksin teha ajarännaku 50ndate aastate Pariisi ja see sama poiss mulle vastu jookseks, siis ma tunneksin kohe ära, et see ongi Jean-Pierre – näojooned on tal ikka muutumatud ja nii iseäralikud.

Antoine Doinel: I need some money for lunch, dad. Only 1,000 francs.
Julien Doinel: Therefore you hope for 500. Therefore you need 300. Here’s 100.

Julien Doinel: I have no socks left around these holes.

English Teacher: Last and simple question. Where is the father?
Rene: Ze fazer…
English Teacher: No. The father.
Rene: Ze fazer.
English Teacher: No, the tip of the tongue between the teeth. As if you had a lisp. Father.
Rene: Fazer.
English Teacher: No.
Rene: But I can’t, sir. Not everybody has a tongue like yours.

Psychiatrist: Your parents say you’re always lying.
Antoine Doinel: Oh, I lie now and then, I suppose. Sometimes I’d tell them the truth and they still wouldn’t believe me, so I prefer to lie. /IMDB

Väga autobiograafiline film. Ja klassika.

Osades Kate Winslet & Melanie Lynskey
IMDB tärne 7,6/10
Treiler

Heavenly Creatures is a 1994 fantasy thriller film directed by Peter Jackson and written with his partner Fran Walsh. It is based on the notorious 1954 Parker-Hulme murder, committed by two teenage girls in Christchurch, New Zealand. The film features Melanie Lynskey as Pauline Parker, Kate Winslet as Juliet Hulme and Sara Pierse as Honora Reiper and deals with the obsessive relationship between Pauline and Juliet, who vow to murder Pauline’s mother in order to avoid a potential separation when the mother fears their relationship is bordering on lesbianism. /Wiki

Almost all locations used for filming were the genuine locations where the events occurred. The tea shop where Honora Parker ate her last meal was knocked down a few days after the shoot ended. According to director Peter Jackson, when they got to the location of the murder on the dirt path, it was eerily quiet; the birds stopped singing, and it didn’t seem right. So they moved along a couple of hundred yards./Wiki
