Review by Library Journal Review

The four features (The 400 Blows, Stolen Kisses, Bed and Board, and Love on the Run) and one short film (Antoine and Colette) smartly assembled in this impressive package chronicle the development of director Fran?ois Truffaut's titular alter ego, as played by Jean-Pierre L?aud over a 20-year period. With a bevy of extras (documentaries, interviews, and more) on a separate disc, plus an accompanying booklet, this valuable set is essential for any serious collection. (c) Copyright 2010.
