Our take

A character created by French auteur François Truffaut, Antoine Doinel is here portrayed as the ultimate intellectual womanizer. Running to the four corners of Paris to escape from (or fall into) his many lovers’ arms, this is Jean-Pierre Léaud at his best, starring alongside Marie-France Pisier.
