Tomorrow night, the Oak Street Cinema in Minneapolis begins a three week retrospective of the work of French director Francois Truffaut. The Oak Street is the only threater outside New York showing all of the new prints of Truffaut's 23 feature films. Truffaut was among a group of brash young film-makers who challenged the accepted cinematic norms of the 1950's and launched what became known as the French New Wave. But unlike other New Wave directors Truffaut, went on to enjoy wide success. He is perhaps best known in America for his role in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". The Oak Street's Bob Cowgill told Minnesota Public Radio's Euan Kerr that role was chosen very deliberately.
