I asked my French classmate Anthony and he explained it this way:

Salut Jin Hui


FAIRE (DO the) 'les quatre cents coup' means that you have made all the possible criminal action like stole a bank or a museum in your life
so you are an expert or another possible means is that when you were young you do all the possible laugh and delirium with your friends .
More generally 'les quatre cents coup' means you've doing all the possible thing for a given behavior, And i'm sorry but i dont know the Paris's street and configuration but you can take a map

    1. The pioneering work of the French New Wave. 2. As for the critical exposure of human nature and love in "Exhausted", this film with Truffaut's autobiography touches me even more; it uses avant-garde long shots and clean and direct narrative language to directly hit the heart. 3. A bonfire that is always bright in the history of art films, and Antoine's struggle to escape at the end is unforgettable. 4. The devastated childhood pain, the rebellious teenagers of each era may be an eternal topic.

    The pioneering work of the new wave of French cinema. The short and unforgettable long shots depict the rebellion and confusion that the teenager has gone through in the process of growing up. He thinks he is free, but when he turns his head, he finds that he has nowhere to escape. We can choose not to face it, choose to escape, but are confined to the world of ourselves, and most of them are nothing more than this.

  • Gilberte Doinel: I was your age once too, you know. You kids always forget that. I was stubborn too and didn't want to confide in my parents. I preferred writing in my diary. No one's ever read it. I'll show it to you one day.
