Francois Truffaut, recognized French director, took a bit of a diversion from his usual film with his 1966 film FAHRENHEIT 451, which was filmed in English and in color, both firsts for the director, and was based on the 1951 novel of the same name by...
Pros: Great music score; snappy opening Cons: Robotic acting by all
Movie legend has it that a foreign film director wanted his actors to be robots. He rehearsed the actors dozens of times until, too tired to put their own emotions into their work, the actors came off like zombies when they were filmed. That director w ...
Pros: Well, it did come from a great novel Cons: Truffaut's worst film, and wooden acting from most of the cast
When one loves Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, and films like Truffaut's The 400 Blows, and Jules and Jim, the fusion of the two great talents is going to work, right?
Right?
Well, not necessarily, as Truffaut's version of Bradbury's novel...
Pros: Good balance between fantasy and realism Cons: No Mechanical Hound

Pros: Truffaut does a fine job directing Ray Bradbury's great story. Cons: The special effects are admittedly dated by today's standards.
When François Truffaut took on the task of making Fahrenheit 451, he was so excited that he forgot to make it as great as it could have been. Now, lets not say that it is a bad film, but it is not really what might be considered a stand-out Truffaut...
Pros: Great symbolism-wonderful plot- great(non Hollywood)ending Cons: no special effects-70s style sets(eye popping orange and chrome)
This is a movie which you have probably seen part of. It is one of those movies that pop up on cable-late at night- while your flipping through the channels and you watch for 15 to 20 minutes. It is a little abstract but once you are in the flow...
In a dark futuristic world literature reading and independent thought have been outlawed. The government has gone so far as to employ a special league...More at Family Video
