Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The classic science fiction novel by Ray Bradbury was a curious choice for one
of the leading directors of the French New Wave, François Truffaut. But from the
opening credits onward (spoken, not written on screen), Truffaut takes
Bradbury's fascinating premise and makes it his own. The futuristic society
depicted in Fahrenheit 451 is a culture without books. Firemen still race around
in red trucks and wear helmets, but their job is to start fires: they ferret out
forbidden stashes of books, douse them with petrol and make public bonfires.
Oskar Werner, the star of Truffaut's Jules and Jim, plays a fireman named
Montag, whose exposure to David Copperfield wakens an instinct towards reading
and individual thought. (That's why books are banned--they give people too many
ideas.) In an intriguing casting flourish, Julie Christie plays two roles:
Montag's bored, drugged-up wife and the woman who helps kindle the spark of
rebellion. The great Bernard Herrmann wrote the hard-driving music; Nicolas Roeg
provided the cinematography. Fahrenheit 451 received a cool critical reception
and has never quite been accepted by Truffaut fans or sci-fi buffs. Its
deliberately listless manner has always been a problem, although that is part of
its point; the lack of reading has made people dry and empty. If the movie is a
bit stiff (Truffaut did not speak English well and never tried another project
in English), it nevertheless is full of intriguing touches, and the ending is
lyrical and haunting.
