Orphan Lili Daurier joins a carnival and falls under the spell of its star, a suave magician. But it is the show's crippled, embittered puppeteer who truly loves Lili, a love he can express only through his puppets. It is not often that the word 'enchanting' can accurately be applied to a musical, Clive Hirschhorn wrote in The Hollywood Musical, but it was the best way to describe Lili, as well as Leslie Caron's genuinely touching performance.

This 2-disc Blu-ray collection presents four films by legendary filmmaker François Truffaut, one of the French New Wave’s brilliant architects: THE WILD CHILD (1970), an absorbing drama based on the true account of 18th-century doctor Jean-Marc-Gaspard Itard, played by Truffaut himself in a memorable performance; SMALL CHANGE (1976), a tribute to the joys, yearnings, pains and wonders of childhood; THE MAN WHO LOVED WOMEN (1977), an irresistibly sophisticated comedy that paints the delirious portrait of a saturnine satyr who worships the feminine spirit—the idea of woman; and THE GREEN ROOM (1978), a most personal and rigorous film in which Truffaut stars as Julien Davenne, a man who so loves the dead that he can no longer love the living. Special Features: -Theatrical Trailers for All 4 Films -In French with Optional English Subtitles
