In 1798, a young boy who cannot speak, read or write is found living alone in a forest in France. Determined to integrate the child into society, Dr. Itard (François Truffaut) takes him under his wing, gives him a name, and attempts to teach him how to communicate. Based on a true story, François Truffaut’s moving tale of care, education, and connection boasts stunning black-and-white cinematography by Néstor Almendros (The Story of Adele H.) and a touching central performance by the director himself, in his first credited role in a feature film.BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION SPECIAL FEATURESHigh-Definition digital transferUncompressed mono PCM audioArchival on-set interview with François Truffaut (1970)Archival television interview with François Truffaut and author Lucien Malson (1969)New interview with critic and author Ginette Vincendeau (2025)TrailerNewly improved English subtitle translationReversible sleeve featuring artwork based on original promotional materialsLimited edition booklet featuring archival writing by Truffaut and new writing by Adam ScovellLimited edition of 3000 copies, presented in full-height Scanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings
