Jean-Pierre Léaud, ComM (] ; born 28 May 1944) is a French actor, best known for playing Antoine Doinel in François Truffaut's series of films about that character, beginning with "The 400 Blows" in 1959.

Les Mistons ("The Mischief Makers") is a short film directed by François Truffaut in 1957.
 It was his second film after "Une Visite" in 1955 but it is considered his "first short film of any real consequence".
 Truffaut simply called it "my first real film".
 Moreover, it was Bernadette Lafont's film debut.
 She was at that time Gérard Blain's wife.
 The film demonstrates already some examples for Truffaut's "trademark tracking shots" and would "help define his style" as well as "set Truffaut on a path for his career".
 Truffaut's narrative stresses the details of life, hereby establishing one of the traits of the French New Wave.
 Thus he also became a predecessor of French film directors such as Jean-Pierre Jeunet ("Amélie").
 It has been stated that the formation of the French New Wave could be "tracked through two short films": Jean-Luc Godard's "All the Boys Are Called Patrick" and Truffaut's "Les Mistons".
 In 2013 the Museum of Modern Art in New York City screened this film together with Truffaut's "The 400 Blows".

 While attending film screenings at Henri Langlois' Cinémathèque Française and other ciné-clubs he gradually befriended many future members of the French New Wave, including François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Éric Rohmer and Claude Chabrol.
 Rivette's association with this group of young cinephiles lead to the start of both his filmmaking career and his work in film criticism.
 In collaboration with his new friends, Rivette made two more short films and worked as a cinematographer and editor on films by Rohmer and Truffaut.
 He also worked in small roles and as an assistant director to Jean Renoir on "French Cancan" and Jacques Becker on "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves".

 He appeared in the wake of the French New Wave alongside contemporaries like Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut.
 Demy's films are celebrated for their sumptuous visual style.
 Demy's style drew upon such diverse sources as Classic Hollywood musicals, the documentary realism of his New Wave colleagues, fairy-tales, jazz, Japanese manga, and the opera.
 His films contain overlapping continuity (i.e., characters cross over from film to film), lush musical scores (typically composed by Michel Legrand) and motifs like teenaged love, labor rights, incest, and the intersection between dreams and reality.
 He is best known for the two musicals he directed in the mid-1960s: "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" (1964) and "The Young Girls of Rochefort" (1967).
