The Germaine Tillion Library is turning 50 (1976-2026). To mark the occasion, its film club is showing François Truffaut’s film “L’amour en fuite,” a deeply nostalgic work that takes us back to Paris in the 1970s, when the library was founded…
Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud), married to Christine (Claude Jade) for eight years, recently had Liliane (Dani) as his mistress and now lives with Sabine (Dorothée). Today, the Doinels are the first couple to divorce by mutual consent. That same evening, Antoine runs into Colette (Marie-France Pisier), one of his first teenage crushes. “L’Amour en fuite” is François Truffaut’s eighteenth feature film, and the fifth and final chronicle featuring Antoine Doinel. It is the most nostalgic film in the series. It is sprinkled with flashbacks made up of excerpts from the previous films. We see the passage of time on the characters and on the actors. Jean-Pierre Léaud is 13 in “Les 400 coups”; he is 33 in “L'Amour en fuite.” Borrow the film from the Paris libraries: L'Amour en fuite Introduction, presentation, and context by Patrice Bougon, film lecturer at Université Sorbonne Nouvelle. ; Credits: poster ; Credits: Bibliothèque Germaine Tillion
