Fahrenheit 451 (1966)

Truffaut's classic sci-fi film Fahrenheit 451 is, as we all know, set in an eerie fascist country where books are prohibited and where firemen patrol people's houses in search for hidden books. The film's dingy futurist look is splendid. The images are humorous and chilling at the same time (I didn't expect the film to be funny but I suspect this is mostly due to reasons unintended by Truffaut). As an intellectual effort, I'm less convinced. It's a silly little film, but a nice-looking one.
