Our take

After Stolen Kisses, Antoine Doinel is once again up to all sorts of tricks and domestic misconduct. Revealing François Truffaut’s interest in depicting the hazards of marital life with zany humour yet honest realism, Jean-Pierre Léaud and Claude Jade are irresistible as an erratic couple.
