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.

Those irreversible slices of life
Recently, in a novel I've come to love, I found myself grasping the weight of life's slices. In the story, there is a wicked sorcerer who freezes people in the instant just before tragedy strikes—suspending everything, sealing it into a crystal ball, and building an entire museum from these frozen moments. And isn't film, in its own way, just as cruel? As viewers, we are little more than instruments for collecting tissue slices—slipping into a character's world for a single fleeting moment, wandering through it in passing, only to return, in the blink of an eye, to the reality that is our own.
