REEL TIME at the COACH HOUSE
A weekend of films celebrating the multi award winning director, François Truffaut.
This weekend’s programme comprises three classic black and white films interleaved with three notable colour ones. We begin with Truffaut’s first full-length feature film, Les Quatre Cents Coups (B&W) and include his last, Vivement Dimanche , where he reverted to black and white in his tribute to Alfred Hitchcock. Truffaut was an expert on Hitchcock and a great admirer of his work. He died of a brain tumour at 52, hardly a year after completing Vivement Dimanche.
