Film

In a totalitarian regime where books are banned and burnt, Guy Montag, a book-burning fireman, is greatly moved by his encounter with a young woman who loves reading. She convinces him to open a book again, and he rediscovers his love for literature and for freedom. Adapted from the cult novel by Ray Bradbury, the film takes a more naturalistic and stripped-down approach. François Truffaut burns Mein Kampf as well as Les Cahiers du Cinéma in this world that could only ever be the same as ours.
