Truffaut Google Doodles
Today would have been filmmaker François Truffaut’s 80th birthday had he not passed away in 1984. To honor his birthday, Google posted a very special doodle in place of their logo today for users in (at least) the UK and France.1 It’s a shame inquisitive Americans weren’t treated to a brief introduction to the French master, but the doodles are easy enough to get to. Here they are:
François Truffaut The 400 Blows Google Doodle
Based on The 400 Blows.
François Truffaut Jules and Jim Google Doodle

François Truffaut The Last Metro Google Doodle
