My husband and I considered 12 films to watch. We rarely find time for a feature (our son is our main feature film). After sidelining Tarkovsky, Fellini, and others, we decided on 400 Blows, a 1950s coming of age based on the director’s life - aloof parents, mean schoolteachers, and getting into petty crime.

You really feel the slippery slope of one bad decision, when it’s made within the framework of multiple factors working against you.
