Fahrenheit 451 (1966)

Based on Ray Bradbury’s 1953 novel of the same name, this Dystopian science fiction drama takes place in an oppressive future in which a fireman, whose duty is to destroy all books, becomes a fugitive for reading. This was Truffaut's first color film as well as his only English-language film. At the 1966 Venice Film Festival, Fahrenheit 451 was nominated for the Golden Lion. Directed by François Truffaut; starring Oskar Werner, Julie Christie and Cyril Cusack.
