Summary of Stolen Kisses
Franֳ§ois Truffaut's BAISֳ‰S VOLֳ‰S (STOLEN KISSES) is the third film in the director's Antoine Doinel series, which begins with young Antoine (Jean-Pierre Lֳ©aud) running away from home in THE 400 BLOWS. Now the lovable everyman is a bushy tailed twentysomething who has just been released from military service. Anxious to jump back into civilian life, he reunites with his girlfriend, Christine (Claude Jade), and starts a job as a night watchman at a hotel. Some hilarious scenes follow as Antoine's combined incompetence, flightiness, and general bad luck land him in some ruthlessly ironic situations. Still, the determined youth perseveres. After he loses his hotel job, Antoine is hired as a private detective, and then as a shoe salesman; he's fired, however, for sleeping with the boss's wife (Delphine Seyrig). And when he's not working, he throws money at whores like there's no tomorrow. (His date with "a very tall woman" epitomizes the quirkiness of French humor.) In an unforgettable scene, the frenzied Antoine stands in front of the mirror emphatically repeating the names of his lovers and then his own. All of these famously original episodes feed into flashbacks from previous films in the series. To complete the picture, BAISֳ‰S VOLֳ‰S includes beautiful shots of Paris--the Sacre Couer, the Arc de Triomphe, and other favorite monuments--that cement the always-romantic nature of Truffaut's works.
