L’amour en fuite

a film by François Truffaut

L’amour en fuite, released 20 years after Les quatre cents coups, brings the adventures of Antoine Doinel to an almost happy end. And, as it happens, it brings to the end the Antoine Doinel cycle by Filmoteca Canaria. I guess I would have enjoyed this comedy more if I didn’t see the other parts of the saga. The flashbacks, taken from the previous films, were not exactly necessary and some of them way too long. The torn-up photo story, however, is utterly brilliant.

Starring Jean-Pierre Léaud as Antoine, Claude Jade as Christine, Marie-France Pisier as Colette, Dani as Liliane, and introducing Dorothée as Sabine.
