Abstract
In this paper, we aim to analyze and relate the theme of the body in part of the filmography of the French director François Truffaut. To achieve this, we will use two cinematic works: The 400 Blows and Jules et Jim, and review concepts such as love and violence seen from the perspective and direction of this acclaimed director, a great representative of the French New Wave. However, before starting our review, we will examine the possibility of philosophically analyzing cinema, and once we defend this possibility, we will trace the films, examining the use and presence of the concept of the body from a philosophical standpoint. Finally, we bring up this director due to his artistic and philosophical level regarding the themes addressed in his works, and with this analysis, we will contribute to the philosophical debate and film study with the concepts used.
