LOVE ON THE RUN (original title “l’amour en fuite”, françois truffaut, 1979)
this was not as hilarious as its predecessors mainly because it quotes heavily and i mean heavily from them. so if you just saw the previous movies a day or a week ago, like i just did, about maybe a quarter of the length was cut from them and spliced into this, ha ha ha, ha ha haha. “flashbacks”.
but hey, it was the last of the adventures of antoine doinel, and it adds a bit to the legend. the end was satisfying.
truffaut died too soon, just 5 years later, and funny that “l’homme qui aimait les femmes” (“the man who loved women”), which was his last i think? was, oh, @bout a dead man who also had a bit of a fetish for ladies’ calves. which could have been a continuation of this i guess. was it? i cant recall.
but anyway now i wanna go back and watch the 400 blows again...
it has been fun
but he died too soon

waaaaaaait no no no. i got thrown off the dates by a 1983 blake edwards movie that ripped off the title lolol. truffaut’s man who loved women was from 77. but was it doinelesque or what. i say yes a bit. yes.
