		Antoine is thus out of another job – just about the same time that another one of the agency's clients, a hand-wringing, one-gloved neurotic homosexual named Albani (Albert Simono), goes berserk when he is informed that the magician (his former lover) has run off and married (oh horror!!) a woman.
		From ace detective, Antoine moves on to a job as television repairman, which allows the resourceful Christine an opportunity to rekindle their on-again off-again relationship by the expedient of disabling the family's television set when her parents are away for the weekend.
		Antoine is something of a wimpy kind of guy, sincere but not especially competent, with an underdeveloped personality and little understanding of life, yet his main struggle in the film is choosing between two incredibly gorgeous and personable women.

	The Film Journal...Passionate and informed film criticism from an auteurist perspective.
		As Antoine is locked into a holding cell that seems little better than his parents' apartment, and his parents finally deem him incorrigible, we realize that this is how, little by little, a kid falls by the wayside.
		Antoine's luck doesn't seem to have improved though, and the object of his affections is blithely indifferent to his advances.
		In flashbacks we learn that both Christine and Antoine may have (separately) fooled around with a mutual female friend during their marriage (remember, no one's perfect) and that, even after the divorce, there is still a lot of love between the two.

		Antoine, you see, is another music obsessive, and his small portable turntable supplies a soaring instrumental soundtrack for his morning reveries.
		Antoine works at a record factory, manufacturing the same totemic objects of audiophile desire that are the visual and metaphorical emotional currency of High Fidelity.
		Antoine adores Colette, whom he finally gets the nerve to ask out after seeing her repeatedly at a series of orchestral concerts.

	IFC Center
		Antoine's stories -- the ones he acts out in these films as well as the ones he wants to write as a novelist -- are so totally concerned with the processes and emotions of falling in love that he's continually surprised when the affairs are suddenly over.
		Antoine, who is a physical and spiritual projection of Truffaut himself, is a constantly amazed observer and an enthusiastic participant, a fact that gives Stolen Kisses the perspective missing from so many other movies about youth seeking to connect.
		We meet Antoine when he is in his early teens, and living with his mother and stepfather in a crowded walkup where they always seem to be squeezing out of each other's way.

		Antoine Doinel is the character Léaud plays in this series of Truffaut films starting when he was 14 through his 30s and his fictional experiences are a sort of composite of Truffaut and Léaud's lives.
		After seeing Antoine and Colette, CC is now anxious to watch the rest of L'amour à vingt ans (1962), an omnibus Truffaut contributed to which has five short films about love at 20 from five different countries.
		Colette stands in the doorway and tells Antoine lounging in bed, who we see reflected in a mirror next to her, that doesn't want to continue their relationship.

		Colette is somewhat aloof to Antoine and has a busy life of her own, but Antoine is persistent.
		Antoine even suffers the embarassment of having Colette’s date pick her up as he is eating dinner with the family, leaving Antoine with her parents to watch television while she is out.
		Antoine and Colette is an inspired continuation of The 400 Blows and a perfect epilogue to Antoine’s childhood.

	Antoine and Colette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Antoine and Colette (French title: Antoine et Colette) is the second film — a short — in François Truffaut's series about Antoine Doinel, the character he follows from boyhood to adulthood through five films.
		Antoine Doinel — and Jean-Pierre Léaud, the actor who played him throughout all five films — had made his screen debut in 1959 with Truffaut's first film, Les Quatre Cents Coups (The 400 Blows).
		Truffaut's tender, semi-autobiographical film about the young Antoine and his gradual descent into petty crime introduced the world to the French New Wave, a short-lived but highly influtential outpouring of work from young French filmmakers including Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol, and Éric Rohmer.

	The Cinematic World
		Antoine moving to live opposite Colette's family is a positive step, but Colette later resists his advances in the cinema, anticipating the failure of their relationship.
		Antoine shows his impetuous side and 'awkward charms' (Roud, 1980: 1011) as he leaves the prostitute after she repels his advances and later abandons Madame Tabard in a display of nervous terror, but he does ultimately find love with Christine -- this love emerging in a spontaneous yet clumsy display of passion in the cellar.
		That this flashback from Antoine and Colette is in fl and white both distances the memory and draws attention to the process of construction -- the art of the filmmaker.

		Antoine is temporarily sidetracked in the fashion of Benjamin Braddock (released a year earlier) by Fabienne (Seyrig), the wife of his client, M. Tobard (Lonsdale).
		Colette has Antoine's novel in hand, and over the miles she flips through the pages (a clever and convenient device for the director) and recalls their younger days.
		Antoine and Colette, by contrast, is not markedly superior to the nonanamorphic Fox Lorber disc from a video standpoint.

		Colette buys a copy at her lover, Xavier’s (Daniel Mesguich) bookstore and sets out with it by train to consider a case in Southern France.
		Antoine sees Colette get on a train, and at the last minute leaps on without a ticket, wanting to retrieve the love he thought they had.
		One powerful scene is when Antoine meets a man from his life 20 years ago who is able to take him to his mother’s grave.

	Movie (Metro Times Detroit) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		That his early idea of what Doinel as a young man would be like was radically different from the rather buffoonish character who eventually reached the screen is evidenced by the fact that one proposed scenario became the basis for Jean-Luc Godard’s debut film Breathless (1959), with Jean-Paul Belmondo as an amoral cop killer.
		"Antoine and Colette" also established the nature of the ongoing Léaud-Doinel character, and if there’s a problem with this short and its three feature-length sequels it’s that there’s hardly a moment when one truly believes that this person is a young adult version of the boy in The 400 Blows.
		In Bed, Antoine is married, seemingly happily, and though the poor sap still can’t hold down any single job for long, the film manages to seem both more improvisational and more coherent than Kisses.

		Antoine waves, smiles and encourages her to enter with a tilt of his head.
		Antoine's path to marriage and maturity might appear overly sentimental were it not for the underlying sadness running throughout the film, particularly its frank discussion of death.
		On Antoine's first assignment, a fellow detective tells Antoine of his grandfather's passing and explains that, “Making love is a way of compensating for death.

		Finally in Love on the Run, Antoine is divorced from Christine and once again in lovebut always the adolescent at heart, his not-so-chance meeting with former love Colette throws him into another loop that forces him to face his past and figure out what life is all about.
		Antoine’s troubled past seems to be a key element film to film, and is acted out brilliantly by the Truffaut favorite Jean-Pierre Leaud.
		Both The 400 Blows and Antoine et Colette are presented in 2.35:1, and the rest in 1.66:1 anamorphic.

	The Criterion Collection: 400 Blows, The
		Told through the eyes of Truffaut’s life-long cinematic counterpart, Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud), The 400 Blows sensitively recreates the trials of Truffaut’s own difficult childhood, unsentimentally portraying aloof parents, oppressive teachers, petty crime, and a friendship that would last a lifetime.
		Originally appearing in the international omnibus film Love at Twenty, this nimble short subject is classic Truffaut, depicting a teenage Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud) living on his own and pursuing his first love affair, initiating a lifelong career of quixotic dreams and amorous restlessness.
		Antoine and Colette is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1.

		Later, Antoine goes to extraordinary lengths to please his new girlfriend and her parents, but Colette still only regards him as a casual friend...

		Also shot in fl-and-white, Antoine and Colette peeks in at Doinel's first clumsy stabs at romance with the expected disastrous results.
		So, for no other reason than lack of direction, Antoine stumbles into an affair with a woman he is barely attracted to (can hardly stand, really), while Christine impatiently waits for him to get his shit together.
		The adventures of Antoine Doinel is also a story about the hunger to pursue art despite the consequences of that pursuit.

	Antoine Doinel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Antoine Doinel is a fictional character invented by French film director François Truffaut.

		Antoine and Christine were the first film couple to divorce by mutual consent.

	SacTicket // DVD/Video
		The half-hour "Antoine and Colette" is part of a larger film titled "Love at Twenty," in which Truffaut was one of a handful of international directors contributing shorts on the theme of "first love."
		By the time Truffaut reached his early 20s, he was already a well-known and ambitious film critic, while Antoine is a scattered, somewhat immature young man bouncing from job to job (night clerk in a hotel, operative at a private detective agency, television repairman).
		Maybe Antoine never could fully overcome his childhood, and perhaps his relationships with women would forever be scarred by his disappointing relationship with his mother.

	The Four Hundred Blows (1959) review by Groucho (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Antoine is a complex character, so complex that he cannot be fully understood.
		His attitude is a perfect reflection of the confusion of teenage years, especially in such a complicated life as the one Antoine lives.
		Such scenes as Antoine behind bars, and the final one at the beach, are truly shattering, and have become classics on their own.

		Antoine's arrest based in great detail on The Wrong Man; in both the sense of shock is due to excessive police action
		The danger is one of denial (as Antoine is eventually denied by his mother) or exhaustion [...] The alternative–at least for Truffaut–is to find a way of life which allows for repetition, as children 'repeat' and hence 'replace' their parents, without falling prey to mechanical regimentation or cynical bitterness.
		It is Madame Doinel's bitterness toward her own past, toward her son, which is most directly responsible for Antoine's delinquency and exile.

	dOc DVD Review: Two Short Films by François Truffaut: Les Mistons / Antoine & Colette (1957, 1962)
		Antoine & Colette (1962, 29m:03s) is the second installment in the story of Truffaut's alter ego, Antoine Doinel.
		Despite the title, Antoine (Jean Pierre Léaud again) is now 18 and working at a Philips LP record manufactory (speaking of quaint).
		The importance of music in Antoine's life is further developed here; not only does he work making LPs, but when alone he plays them constantly, and he offers the first one he makes to Colette, who receives it with disdain.

		Five boys palling around one summer fall for a teen beauty, but as the narrator (one of the five) describes, "Too young to love Bernadette, we decided to hate her--and torment her." These adolescent boys are neither cute nor innocent, but Truffaut sympathizes with the frustration born of budding hormones and sexual mystery.
		ANTOINE ET COLETTE has been shot in 1962 for L'AMOUR A 20 ANS, a movie composed of four different films about the same theme.
		'Antoine and Colette', the second film in the Antoine 'The 400 Blows' Doinel series, was originally an episode in a portmanteau film 'Love at Twenty' (also featuring Marcel Ophuls and Andrej Wajda).

		With The Adventures of Antoine Doinel, Criterion is proud to present Truffaut’s celebrated saga in its entirety: the feature films The 400 Blows, Stolen Kisses, Bed and Board, and Love on the Run, and the 1962 short subject, Antoine and Colette, in a special edition five-disc box set.
		All of the Antoine Doinel movies in this box set are unique and endearing in their own right, and each have a special place in my heart.
		OK, so I've only seen Antoine et Colette, the second (and shortest) of the films on this collection, but I thought it was great.
