Preceded by nothing (well, “le beau serge”), it was The 400 Blows, Hiroshima Mon Amour and Pickpocket in 1959 France, and it’d never quite be that good again.<\/p>\n

I wrote to Trevor
\n———
\nAha… so in 400 Blows, he’s going to the movies with his parents.<\/p>\n

“What’s playing?”
\n“Paris Belong To Us.”<\/p>\n

In the DVD liner notes for “Paris Belongs To Us” it says:
\n“Rivette began production… in 1958. It was only after the commercial
\nsuccess of Truffaut’s The 400 Blows and Godard’s Breathless that the
\nresulting film, the elusive and intellectual Paris Belongs To Us, saw its
\nrelease in 1960.”<\/p>\n

So Antoine Doinel’s parents couldn’t have seen it AND if they had seen it
\n(“elusive and intellectual”) they wouldn’t have liked it, heh.
\n———<\/p>\n

and he replied…

\nI was more concerned with the fact that his friend (Rene) came to visit him when he was in the correctional institute. He came on a bicycle. When Antoine escaped, he ran to the sea. The closest sea to Paris is about 200km away according to google maps, so if Antoine was within running distance of the sea how did Rene get there on a bicycle?
