Love on the Run

The final film in François Truffaut's autobiographical 'Antoine Doinel' series, which follows the director's screen alter ego from adolescence (in Les Quatre Cents Coups) to the complications of married life here. Separated from his wife, novelist Antoine is having an affair with Sabine (Dorothee). When seeing off his son at a train station, he spots his first love, Colette (Marie-France Pisier), and jumps into her carriage. Colette is now seeing Sabine's brother, Xavier (Daniel Mesguich), and soon all four protagonists are back in Paris attempting to reconcile their lives. (Artificial Eye)
