4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!

Francois Truffaut, the greatest French director not named Jean Renoir or Jean Rollin, was born on February 6th, 1932.  If he was still with us, he would be 88 years old and I would like to think that he would still be making films.  The greatest director of the French new wave, Truffaut truly loved cinema and that love came through in every film he ever made.  My favorite Francois Truffaut film — and this will probably come to a surprise to no one — is Day For Night.  Seriously, if you don’t fall in love with the movie making process while watching Day For Night, you might want to get checked to make sure that you still have a heart.

In honor of what would have been his 88th birthday, here are….
