French New Wave pioneer François Truffaut made an unforgettable debut with The 400 Blows, winning Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival. This semi-autobiographical film marked the beginning of his celebrated “Antoine Doinel” series, chronicling a boy’s journey from youth to adulthood. The 400 Blows not only ignited the French New Wave—it remains one of Truffaut’s most iconic masterpieces. In Jules and Jim, a love triangle between two men and a woman unfolds with poetic grace, establishing Truffaut’s reputation as a creator of utopian romances. Later in his career, The Last Metro—set in Nazi-occupied Paris—won the César Award for Best Film and stands as a mature, poignant work from his final years. Giloo presents a curated selection of three essential Truffaut films—timeless classics from a filmmaker who reshaped the language of cinema, in France and beyond.
What is the best moment to watch movies? For me, it's Friday night, kicking off the holiday with a film—the best reward for myself. I'm sharing five of my private holiday movie picks with you: Truffaut's classic love triangle, "Jules and Jim" (or Shoot the Piano Player, based on context of 'classic love triangle' in Truffaut's work), the warm and delicate "The Passengers of the Night", "One Fine Morning", "Return to Seoul" which accompanies Freddie on her search for roots, and "March: The Southern South", looking back at Taiwan in March 1947.
