Stolen Kisses (Baisers Voles)

Filmed in 1968 during political turbulence in France which culminated in the Paris riots, this is ironically one of Truffaut's most playful and light-hearted films. The third in a series featuring Truffaut's cinematic alter-ego Antoine Doinel, which began with 'Les Quatre Cents Coups', it follows Antoine (Jean-Pierre Léaud) who, having received a dishonourable discharge from the army at the age of 20, works his way through a series of unsatisfactory jobs, as well as a number of transient relationships.
