Never thought that this was the first film of a full blown series with an actor progressing through life in front of the camera.

Authentic. The film was surprisingly not anachronistic considering its release in 1959.

Jean-Pierre Léaud's perfomance is really meticulous. What sets apart this movie is the simple fact that the director Truffaut is confessing before the screen his memories in a cold world which still resonates with many, making this a timeless peace of art.
