Love on the Run
Antoine Doinel. He's got four ladies ... Nine lives ... and Plenty of alibis!
Overview
The release of François Truffaut’s The 400 Blows in 1959 shook world cinema to its foundations. The now-classic portrait of troubled adolescence introduced a major new director in the cinematic landscape and was an inaugural gesture of the revolutionary French New Wave. But The 400 Blows did not only introduce the world to its precocious director—it also unveiled his indelible creation: Antoine Doinel. Initially patterned closely after Truffaut himself, the Doinel character (played by the irrepressible and iconic Jean-Pierre Léaud) reappeared in four subsequent films that knowingly portrayed his myriad frustrations and romantic entanglements from his stormy teens through marriage, children, divorce, and adulthood.

Jean-Pierre Leaud is his usual charming self and the main rea…

By now, we know that "Antoine Doinel" (Jean-Pierre Léaud) is a bit of a scoundrel and the first few scenes here illustrate that to a T! The ink is barely dry on his divorce from "Christine" (Claude Jade), when he is leaving new gal "Sabine" (Dorothée) to meet up with their son "Alphonse". This behaviour rather epitomises the problem for "Sabine" wh…
