House Samyan in Bangkok will show two classic French films at the end of this month, with further screenings continuing into December. François Truffaut’s The 400 Blows (Les quatre cents coups) and Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless (À bout de souffle) are both among the greatest films ever made, and cornerstones of the French New Wave (la nouvelle vague)
The 400 Blows opens on 28th November, followed by Breathless on the following day. Both films are being screened in a double bill on 30th November; and on 1st, 5th, and 7th December.
The 400 Blows was screened at the Thai Film Archive in Salaya earlier this year and in 2018. It has also been shown several times previously in Bangkok: at the Prince Theatre, at Bangkok Screening Room (to launch their BKKSR Cinémathèque programme), and at the Alliance Française (introduced by its leading actor, Jean-Pierre Léaud).
