...Blows, Truffaut's first great movie, stars a 12-year-old Jean Paul Leaud and you can see it for free if you got a t.v. It's playing on channel 5 tonight...

At one point Marie (Bernadette Lafont) quietly gets up and goes into the bathroom where she takes an overdose of sleeping pills, and Alexandre (Jean-Pierre Leaud) panics.
