“Small Change” by Truffaut movie poster by Chuck Sperry


“Small Change” by François Truffaut is playing at The Red Vic Movie House on February 28 and March 1, 2010. Chuck designed and printed this 5 color movie poster with heavy gold and several layers of light tints – a portrait of the director Truffaut – a tip-of-the-hat to Truffaut and the great films of the French New Wave.

“Small Change” is a light comedy concerning the daily lives of young children in Theirs, France. Truffaut is less interested in telling a three act story, instead focusing on the small events that make up childhood. The result is an almost completely improvised film study of an elusive subject matter: the beauty of being a child.

François Truffaut made an enormous impact on cinema and his films have an enduring popular appeal. Most significantly, he did a great deal to promote the idea of the director as an “auteur,” making him the inspiration for future generations of independent film-makers.

Truffaut had at least three great passions in his life: women, cinema and American pulp fiction. These passions were such a big part of his life that it is no surprise they should be so keenly reflected in his films.

Truffaut was also a great humanist, who supported many worthy causes for children, and this humanity is also an essential element of his films.

In 1976 Truffaut filmed “Small Change” (L’Argent de poche), a compelling study of young children.
