An Old Review
I found my old blog at tchncs.de. That federated website is seriously awesome, and the admin is a really nice dude! Check out and support them if you can
Here is a review I wrote (verbatim) 3 years ago, when I found out about criterion collection: excuse my cringe xD
REVIEW: THE 400 BLOWS
Background: Director – François truffaut, Year – 1959
Context: College Dorm, Noon, Under cozy warmth of Mink blanket, Relaxed

Never thought that this was the first film of a full blown series with an actor progressing through life in front of the camera.
Authentic. The film was surprisingly not anachronistic considering its release in 1959. Jean-Pierre Léaud's perfomance is really meticulous. What sets apart this movie is the simple fact that the director Truffaut is confessing before the screen his memories in a cold world which still resonates with many, making this a timeless peace of art.

Reading this made me feel old and trippy about the trajectory so far. F nostalgia tho, I still have this in me and on a serious note, I'm gonna read and write more this year
