Movie Reviews of Love on the Run
Movie Review: An intimate and priceless gem.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen this film roughly 30 times since it first came out and each time I see it I walk away with some new insight. The Antoine Doinel series shows just how versatile a director Trauffaut was. This is warm and engaging filmaking with elegantly drawn characters of wonderful complexity. And true to Truffaut style, not a single frame is wasted nor does any moment feel false or misconstrued. Trauffaut was an undisputed master and seeing a master work on this intimate a scale is a wonderful, exhilarating experience. I also walk away from seeing this film with a sense of sadness that this was the last of the series and Truffaut is no longer with us.
Summary of Love on the Run
This was François Truffaut's last film in the Antoine Doinel series (the character followed from The 400 Blows to Bed and Board). Doinel is again played by Jean-Pierre Léaud as a bad boy whose own obsessions with his mother greatly affect his relationships with women. Here, our compulsive liar and general scamp is found out, time and time again, but, as the women of the film find, it's impossible to blame him entirely. In fact, it seems a French badge of honor to have your mistress show up at your door. The film stands on its own as a light and gentle comedy but carries much more resonance if watched in its proper place and order in the series. It also stars the devastatingly gorgeous Marie-France Pisier as an old acquaintance who calls Doinel on the carpet. --Keith SimantonSimilar DVD Movies
