Love on the Run

France/1979—directed by François Truffaut

Bed and Board was conceived as the last part of the Doinel saga, but Truffaut decided nearly a decade later to make one more visit to Antoine, this time in his thirties, to see if adulthood resulted in a less chaotic life.

Antoine’s memories of childhood and adolescence materialize through sequences from the previous films―a dazzling cinematic scrapbook of Jean-Pierre Léaud from ages 14 to 35. Ultimately, Antoine is who he’s always been, measuring the loves of his life against the romantic dreams that have never ceased to grip him. (95 min.) 

“Truffaut is a master of his art… Love on the Run is a rousing success.” -David Sterritt, Christian Science Monitor

Tickets to each of Truffaut's Antoine Doinel films showing at the DIA are available separately, but for those who want the full experience, a pass to all five films to this once-only “Antoine-a-Thon” is available here for just $20.
