Fancy Movie Time #9: The 400 Blows (feat. Josh Boerman)
On this episode of Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., the fancy lads recruit their first ever Fancy Guest, one Josh Boerman from The Worst of All Possible Worlds, to cover François Truffaut's semi-autobiographical, coming-of-age drama The 400 Blows. Does Truffaut's unblinking look into the terrors of childhood make this a Fancy Feast? Or does the unrelenting bleak tone make this a Failure to Fancy? Perhaps most importantly, who is Johnson Laserdick and why is he SO. COOL?!

In the extended cut he gets to the beach looks sad and then a surfer comes up to him and is all “La vie est toujours come ça. MAIS PAS AUJOURD’HUI!” And a 1960’s beach party erupts from out of frame.
AJ is right. I’m on AJ’s side.
