| | Love On The Run | The A.V. Club |
 | | A film whose historical significance is impossible to overstate, The 400 Blows initiated the French New Wave, finding vibrant new methods for telling stories born from a love of the movies, the theoretical principles laid out by Truffaut and his compatriots in Cahiers Du Cinema, and the necessities of filmmaking on a budget. |
 | | Bed And Board (1970) and Love On The Run (1979) deal with marriage, fatherhood, adultery, jealousy, divorce, and the end of youth. |
 | | In one of the box set's many interview segments (which function as a kind of mini-cycle on their own, as Truffaut ages from boyish young prodigy to middle-aged man), the director himself admits that it's an unsatisfying conclusion to the series, though a pretty good film in its own right. |
