Antoine Doinel's Smile

After I put together a small animated GIF for my piece on the Lytro camera a few days ago, I got the gif bug, if there is such a thing. Perhaps I’ll post more of these as they come to me. Leave ideas for other moments in cinema turn into a gif.

Here we have a great moment from François Truffaut’s The 400 Blows, the psychological examination of Antoine Doinel. The question that precedes his smile? “Have you ever slept with a girl?”

If you buy the film on [DVD](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E5LEV0/ref= as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=thecandlerblo-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399 373&creativeASIN=B000E5LEV0) or [Blu-ray](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O549FC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=thecandlerblo -20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B001O549FC) with these links you will be supporting the candler blog and adding a great film to your collection. I own Criterion’s Antoine Doinel Box Set; these films are worth revisiting every so often.
