Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble - Tony Nigro
François Truffaut did not conceive Antoine Doinel, the French auteur's rascally onscreen alter ego, to be a recurring character. But after becoming an instant icon of the French New Wave as the protagonist of The 400 Blows in 1959, Antoine reappeared in three more of the director's features and one short film over the 20 years that followed, always played with passion by Jean-Pierre Léaud. This Criterion Collection box set includes the complete Doinel film series as well as a bonus disc with a near overload of background materials. This wonderful set opens with Truffaut's debut masterpiece, The 400 Blows, in which we meet wayward Antoine, a 14-year-old who turns to street life and petty crime in response to neglect at home. At the age of 15, the precocious Léaud already imbued Antoine with a complexity and emotional reality that many actors who are twice as old still rarely show. Antoine returned in Antoine and Collette, a short that was part of the 1962 omnibus film Love at Twenty. Presented alone here, Antoine and Collette sets the sweet-and-sour tone for the subsequent Doinel films. By Stolen Kisses 1968, Antoine has matured into a lovable rogue, trying to balance his awkward reintegration into civilian life after a dishonorable military discharge. He makes clumsy romantic passes, first at the energetic Christine Claude Jade, and then at his boss's wife Delphine Seyrig. Antoine and Christine have married in Bed and Board 1970, but he suddenly becomes obsessed with a young Japanese woman Hiroku Berghauer. In the final Doinel film, Love on the Run 1979, Antoine is more of a scamp than ever, blowing through life briskly, woman after woman. When watched separately, the later films play as light comedy, but when they are watched in context with the poignant drama of The 400 Blows, Doinel appears more as a melancholy character leaning toward the lonelier side of a free spirit. Indeed, the lovable and somehow forgivable scamp in Love on the Run developed out of the antisocial milk thief in The 400 Blows. This complexity, rarely seen in cinema, is no doubt due to Truffaut's fabulous direction as much as Léuad's all-consuming performances. Viewing the character's arc in this context is a treat, indeed.
