Category: Non-EnglishPart of an omnibus, Antoine and Colette by François Truffaut is obviously the most stand out film from this lot. Taking on the task of furthering his character from The 400 Blows, Antoine Doinel returns for his first love affair with Colette who treats him like a friend and worse still her parents treat him like a son/lost cousin.
He continues to love her, does everything he must - note that most of this is largely semi-autobiographical. Truffaut eventually brings down the curtain on this love story which is actually quite brutal on his protagnoist but is carried out on a much lighter vein.
Recommendation level: 5/5 - the short serves it's purpose in eventually setting up the technical masterpiece Love on the Run.
