The tragicomic story follows the adventures of timid dance-hall pianist Charlie (Charles Aznavour), who gets caught up in a whirlwind love affair and is inadvertently drawn into a violent underworld by his gangster brothers. With the film’s dazzling mix of Raoul Coutard’s handheld camera work, a wistful score by Georges Delerue, and playfully jagged editing, Truffaut creates a rueful character study shot through with his signature obsessions: cinema, the elusive nature of creativity, and the sting of romantic regret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray with the film and special features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio commentary featuring film scholars Peter Brunette and Annette Insdorf\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction by filmmaker Noah Baumbach\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterviews with cinematographer Raoul Coutard, actors Charles Aznavour and Marie Dubois, and François Truffaut collaborator Suzanne Schiffman\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArchival interviews with Truffaut on the film and the source novel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Music of Georges Delerue, an illustrated audio essay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpisode of the Criterion Channel series Observations on Film Art featuring scholar Jeff Smith\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDubois’s screen test\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrailer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlus: An essay by film critic Kent Jones, an interview with Truffaut, and reflections by the director on Aznavour and Dubois\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCover by F.
