Stolen Kisses (Baisers volés)

Me and Al never got round to buying the Criterion Antoine Doinel boxset, but Al did find Stolen Kisses on DVD, which is the third installment, after The 400 Blows and a short film we're not sure the name of.

Me and Lil watched Stolen Kisses tonight. This, along with Une Femme est Une Femme by Godard, sums up the lighter side of the French New Wave so wonderfully. This was a joy to behold. The speed of it, Jean-Pierre Leaud's face...wonderful! Here's a clip:





and the great opening:





oh and my favourite scene from Une Femme est Une Femme:





oh and this from Bande a Part!:
