    It's great that The 400 Blows made it to the second round but it looks like that's as far as it'll go. If you haven't seen it, it's one of the best French films of all time, if not just simply one of the best films of all time period. It's streaming on HBO Max.

    Agreed and for anyone that doesn't know, The 400 Blows title doesn't mean anything. The french title couldn't be translated into English so it comes across as a weird title.


    From Wikipedia...

    The English title is a literal translation of the French that fails to capture its meaning, as the French title refers to the idiom "faire les quatre cents coups", meaning "to raise hell".[6] On the first prints in the United States, subtitler and dubber Noelle Gillmor translated the title as Wild Oats, but the distributor Zenith did not like that and reverted it to The 400 Blows.
