Antoine and Colette

Ratings & Reviews

FISCHER

Jean-Pierre Leaud, à nouveau dans son fameux rôle fétiche, peaufine son légendaire personnage qu'il interprète ici pour la seconde fois après sa prestation dans "Les 400 cents coups". Une rareté trop peu distribuée, projetée. Et une occasion de redécouvrir la valeur intangible de certains courts métrages... www.cinefiches.com

yes, today is a good day to rewatch this

It may not be perfect technically, but seduces the viewer with a universal story from a crisp vantage.

I can't help but fall a little in love with Jean-Pierre Léaud.

Nice to see Antoine as he matures. It’s no “400 Blows” though, not that it was trying.

Aardsy

Jean-Pierre Leaud at his most adorable.

A nice little short chapter in the Antione Doinel series.

Premiers baisers, bonheurs, chagrins. Garde mon coeur. Donne ta main.

With a topic befitting the very nature of a short, Truffaut’s ode to Paris and “jeune amour” confides in choices of music, the medium itself a metaphor for love. Bach is heard when hopeful, Berlioz during magnetized infatuation and Delarue for sensual, premature heartbreak, accompanied with montage of picture stills, pinpointing false, fleeting happiness displaced by the seasons.

In 32 minutes, Truffaut captures one of the most honest and heartbreaking love stories you'll ever witness on film. The 400 Blows is a great film but Antoine et Colette is a masterpiece.”

Warren Spratley

Truffaut gets at a beautiful sense of documentary with Leaud pressing records, carrying the entirety of his belongings through Parisian streets, his camera zooming to capture a more objective sense of how one only partially grasps a public space--here a music hall full of youths. Truffaut uses classical music very expressively here, punctuating Antoine & Colette's eye movements, Antoine trying to master space, fate.

French wave (coming-of-age) classic.

Shame it was so short. The Antoine Doinel saga continues

Absolutely lovely and heartbreaking. The scene where Antoine first sees Colette is excellent.

Robertus Alexander

'Antoine sees Colette several times a week. They swap books and records. They discuss stereos over coffee and lemon squash, take turns to see each others home and talk for hours in the doorway.' Damn.

That bitch...

ASHES IN THE HOURGLASS

Though not as beautiful in it's direction as 400 Blows, I slightly prefer this short but wonderful continuation of Antoine Doinel's life. It's more concise, captures a part of life that is rarely well portrayed (as opposed to the dozens of great films about childhood) and has a wonderful musicality in it's editing as showcased by the show stealing (pun intended) moment when Antoine first sees Colette.

We follow our beloved hero Antoine, now a young man of eighteen, into the jaws of heartbreak. The ending is tragic, and my heart sunk with Antoines!

Dombl

A short masterpiece. The montage sequence at the concert on which Antoine first recognizes Colette is just classic!

Doinel is always a delight.

A masterpiece. Excellent follow-up to The 400 Blows, with an ending that is just as much of a gut punch.
