François Truffaut. The Boy from Cinema

What was the childhood of future celebrities like? What helped them become masters of their craft?
For some, this path was easier: they were supported by their family. But François Truffaut, the remarkable French director, the youngest winner of the Cannes Film Festival Grand Prix, was not spoiled by the love of his family. His childhood was full of disappointments and rather sad adventures. But he had a true passion - cinema, and it transformed reality, created an entire world, and brought hope. This book is about the fact that if you do what you love, no matter how hard it is, you will be rewarded.
In 2022, Truffaut would have turned 90 years old. Many know him for his debut film about childhood, "The 400 Blows." Viktoria Semykina, a master of mixed techniques and a cinephile, illustrated the story of Truffaut's coming of age, embedding images from his favorite films into the book. Finding them is a separate pleasure for adults. For children, this illustrated picture book will be a wonderful example of how even a difficult childhood can be transformed if one follows their dream with determination.
