This movie has not passed the test of time.
It is very amateurish.
The dialogues are unnatural, for those who know how the french speak.
The locations are dirty, nothing is refurbished, you would say it is a communist country. Well no, it was France, and it is still France today, in many.
There is not much of a story, just a young man finding it hard to make it in the world of adults. But the way he acts, reacts, is so strange, he has some kind of love affair with a woman, and he wrote her 16 letters in a week, not all pleasant ones, but when they speak to each other, they behave like they were strangers.
I think I never saw a really well made movie from Truffaut.
They all have bad acting and bad rythm.
An intellectually overrated director at a time the french were searching for a new wave ..
