« Plus je vois ce court-métrage d’Agnès Varda, plus je l’aime. À Cannes, il fut acclamé par le public et c’est justice. On y trouve fantaisie, goût, intelligence, intuition et sensibilité, cinq vertus dont aucune ne devrait jamais faire défaut dans les films.

I'm thinking I need to do an Antoine Doinel retrospective. Doinel was the famous character played by Jean-Pierre Léaud in five films directed by François Truffaut.
The films:
The 400 Blows (1959)
Antoine and Colette (1962, short)
Stolen Kisses (1968)
Bed and Board (1970)
Love on the Run (1979)
I've seen The 400 Blows several times but not the others (except for part of Stolen Kisses).
