Les 400 Coups (1959)




Yesterday's post included an excerpt from Dan Graham's Body Press (1972), while today's post is something of an inversion: a scene that appears early in Truffaut's Les 400 Coups (1959) that has its subject(s) flattened and at the edge of a centre, not amidst it. This scene in some ways parallels the opening credit scene, where the Eiffel Tower provides the centre point.
