Overview
François Truffaut, 1966, 112 min., 16mm
This adaptation of Ray Bradbury's classic novel explores the extremes of censorship, centering around a society where all printed material is banned. Guy Montag, a fireman whose job it is to burn books, begins to question his job when he meets Clarisse and begins to steal, and read, the forbidden literature.
