Truffaut Films Show Creativity

Francois Truffaut was the most recognizable, if not the most talented member of what was known as France’s original “New Wave” of filmmakers/critics. His first feature, “400 Blows” (1959), plays at 7 tonight at Gonzaga University’s Jepson Auditorium. It’s a fictionalized version of Truffaut’s own troubled childhood, and is a true bit of cinema history. A second Truffaut film, “Small Change” (1976), plays Saturday.
