Fahrenheit 451

a film by François Truffaut

Truffaut’s first film in colour, Fahrenheit 451, based on Ray Bradbury’s dystopic novel of the same name, was not exactly appreciated by critics. I wonder why. Didn’t they like the futuristic (by now, retrofuturistic) fire engine which could only work because it’s red? So cool.

This is the second movie I’ve seen in Filmoteca de Cantabria. Starring Oskar Werner as Guy Montag, Julie Christie in the dual roles of Linda Montag and Clarisse, and Cyril Cusack as Captain Beatty.
