Film director & critic
François Truffaut
Attacked the French film establishment as a critic, then made The 400 Blows and joined it. He followed the same character across five films and twenty years.
François Roland Truffaut was a French filmmaker, actor, and critic. Widely regarded as one of the founders of the French New Wave, he came under the tutelage of film critic André Bazin as a young man and was hired to write for the latter's Cahiers du Cinéma, where Truffaut became a proponent of the auteur theory, which posits that a film's director is its true author.
