Classic of Truffaut
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.

Kinda Loser-ish, But Kinda Nice
“Lu-se” (魯蛇, Taiwanese internet slang borrowed from the English word “loser”) seems to have become a dead word. You rarely hear anyone say it anymore, and I’m not sure why. I don’t think the term can be understood simply as the English “loser.” In the way it’s used in Taiwan, it seems to carry a touch of self-deprecating humor, and that’s a quality I really love. The films above are the ones that, to me, have that feeling.
