It is true that Truffaut owns the keys to my heart. Antoine Doinel could be my soul incarnate. A smile from beginning to end.
gosh, how closely and intimately i resonate with this "you're good for nothing" attitude of the adult world.. "well-intended, yet terrible" haha, that's as close as you can get to the skin of reality.
Stolen Kisses is a perfect title for this movie, because a stolen kiss is funny, sweet and adorable.
Masterpiece no doubt. Jean-Pierre Léaud makes a fantastic work as usual. The scene in the bathroom is fabulous. I love how Truffaut portrays his characters' relationship with women.
zzts interesting how his sex with women is an out-of marriage thing... When he's in bed with Christine, they're more like kids. & Doinel never exhibits any pride when he's with the whores, he keeps his head down. In Shoot The Piano Player, Dubois tells Aznavour, "I like you, you don't play the ladies-man".
There's no way I could possibly not fall in love with this masterpiece. It's so beautiful, the portrait of Antoine Doinel, after getting out of army. The relationships with women... That saga is absolutely fabulous. It does continue... Thank god! François was a genious!
I wonder if I spoil the mood here by saying "Antoine Doinel, Antoine Doinel, Antoine Doinel, Antoine Doinel, Antoine Doinel, Antoine Doinel, Antoine Doinel, Antoine Doinel, ANTOINE DOINEL! ANTOINE DOINEL! ANTOINE DOINEL! ANTOINE DOINEL!"
Every episode here is so delightful. The final scene in the park is stunningly written.
