L'Amour En Fuite (aka Love On The Run) (1979)

In the process of divorcing his wife (Claude Jade), a man (Jean Pierre Leaud) pursues a new relationship with a young girl (Dorothee) who works in a record store. Directed by Francois Truffaut, this was the fifth and final entry in his films centered on the character of Antoine Doinel (Leaud), the previous four being THE 400 BLOWS, ANTOINE AND COLETTE, STOLEN KISSES and BED AND BOARD. While it's nice to have closure (though I didn't buy the happy ending), this is the least satisfying of the Doinel films. It's a patchwork film with much of the movie comprised of clips from the previous films. But the film is at least as much about Doinel's first love or should I say obsession, Colette (Marie France Pisier) as it is about Doinel, not surprising since the actress had a hand in the screenplay. For me, it proved the most satisfying aspect of the film. Of interest only if you're a fan of the previous Doinel films. With Julian Bertheau, Daniel Mesguich and Dani.
