Charm - a considerable amount of it - is the keynote of François Truffaut's endearing celebration of the growing-up of Antoine Doinel, the rebellious hero of the director's 1959 classic, The 400 Blows. Here Antoine, still played by Jean-Pierre Léaud, continues his rebellion by being dishonourably discharged from the army, which he joined during a fit of romantic fervour. After this he drifts into a series of often disastrous, often very funny situations as he turns his well-meaning, but not always focused, attentions to various civilian jobs. The storyline is as light as a bubble.
