Fahrenheit 451 (16-Sep-1966)

Director: François Truffaut

Writers: Jean-Louis Richard; François Truffaut

From novel: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

Keywords: Sci-Fi, Dystopian

As a "fireman", it is Guy Montag's duty to seek out and destroy books; the "conflicting ideas" in printed literature cause unhappiness and depression. He strikes up a friendship with a neighboring young woman Clarisse, prompting him to enjoy and hoard the very things he is paid to eliminate. Truffaut's first color film, and his only in the English language. Received a Hugo nomination for Best Dramatic Presentation.
