Les quatre cents coups (1959) Fr Eng subt

For his feature-film debut, critic-turned-director François Truffaut drew inspiration from his own troubled childhood. The 400 Blows stars Jean-Pierre Léaud as Antoine Doinel, Truffaut's preteen alter ego. Misunderstood at home by his parents and tormented in school by his insensitive teacher (Guy Decomble), Antoine frequently runs away from both places. The boy finally quits school after being accused of plagiarism by his teacher. He steals a typewriter from his father (Albert Remy) to finance his plans to leave home. The father angrily turns Antoine over to the police, who lock the boy up with hardened criminals. A psychiatrist at a delinquency center probes Antoine's unhappiness, which he reveals in a fragmented series of monologues. Originally intended as a 20-minute short, The 400 Blows was expanded into a feature when Truffaut decided to elaborate on his self-analysis. For the benefit of Truffaut's fellow film buffs, The 400 Blows is full of brief references to favorite directors, notably Truffaut's then-idol Jean Vigo. The film won the 1959 Best Director prize at the Cannes Film Festival, even though Truffaut had been declared persona non grata the year before for his inflammatory comments about the festival's commercialism. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053198/ http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/imdbid-53198/sublanguageid-all [Movie] Valid : Yes [AVI] Duration : 01:39:25 Movie complete : Yes [Video] Resolution : 720x432 1.67:1 Codec : DivX (4 / 5 / 6) FPS : 29,97 BitRate : 971 Kbps Quality Factor : 0,11 b/px [Audio] Codec : MPEG 1 or 2 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) Number of channels : 2 Sample Rate : 48000 Hz BitRate : 128 Kbps Please seed at least as much as you D/L. ======================================= Thanks John

Something wrong with the video
heres a shot captured
theres a black bar only at the bottom. And the hardcoded subtitles are placed in a strange way like u see in the above snapshot.
Cant watch it like this, too bad. Downloading an other torrent

action123: I made it work by toying around a bit with the crop & aspect settings in VLC. The text is still a bit chopped off on the bottom, but it is readable.

Agree with previous comments, very strange cropping, subs hardcoded on black bottom of the screen...

Have no idea why this is the most popular/seeded 400 blows torrent. The quality is pretty bad, it's not a rip of the Criterion, the hardcoded subs are way below the picture in the bottom letterbox area (explaining the weird crop necessary to have them appear, since the top letterbox is cropped), and it's a larger file than the other one. Avoid.
