François Truffaut
François Roland Truffaut ( , ; ; 6 February 1932 – 21 October 1984) was a French filmmaker, actor, and critic. He is widely regarded as one of the founders of the French New Wave.

Antoine Doinel
Antoine Doinel () is a fictional character created by François Truffaut (1932–1984) and portrayed by actor Jean-Pierre Léaud (b. 1944) in five films directed by Truffaut. Doinel is to a great extent an alter ego for Truffaut; they share many of the same childhood experiences, look somewhat alike and are even mistaken for one another on the street. Although Truffaut did not initially plan for Doinel to be a recurring character, he eventually returned to the character in one short and three features after introducing him in his debut film '' The 400 Blows'' (1959). In all, Truffaut followed the fictional life of Antoine Doinel for over 20 years, depicting his romance with Christine ( Claude Jade) in '' Stolen Kisses'' (1968), then Antoine and Christine's marriage in '' Bed and Board'' (1970) and their subsequent divorce in '' Love on the Run'' (1979). Recurring characters Doinel was played in all five movies by Jean-Pierre Léaud. Doinel's lover and later wife, Christine Dar ...

Antoine And Colette

Plot ''Antoine and Colette'' catches up with Antoine as a solitary 20-year-old who works at ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
