Continuing the François Truffaut collection The Adventures of Antoine Doinel  we have a double bill this afternoon.

First a short film (run time 32 minutes) Antoine & Colette where we find that Antoine has his life in some sort of order and he gets to indulge in his love of  music in his job at a record shop.  The problem now is Colette, someone with whom he has fallen desperately in love but who sees him just as a friend.  Will she ever view him as anything else?

We'll have a short break before the second feature Stolen Kisses.  Antoine at the age of 20 has received a dishonourable discharge from the army and returns to the place he knows best, the Parisian streets and alleyways where he stumbles through a series of unsatisfying jobs and romantic encounters.  Run time 91 minutes.

François Truffaut delivers and indisputable landmark of cinema history - five films, four features and one short, which follow the life of one charming, compelling and unforgettable character.  Truffaut allowed audiences  to dip into one characters life progressively over twenty years, witnessing him growing up from a child struggling with school and the law to an adult struggling with love and divorce.
