A semi-autobiographical film of the director’s life, Antoine spends his first years shunned by his parents. Forced to make himself invisible, he takes refuge in the cinema, playing hooky and committing minor crimes. The character of Doniel is brought to life through the combination of Truffaut’s script and actor Léaud who was “an antisocial loner on the brink of rebellion.”
