The third installment (including short film Antoine and Collette) in François Truffaut’s chronicle of the ardent Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud). The Doinel character's first appearance was in New Wave classic The 400 Blows.
"It is now 1968, and the mischievous and perpetually love-struck Doinel has been dishonourably discharged from the army and released onto the streets of Paris, where he stumbles into the unlikely profession of private detective and embarks on a series of misadventures. Whimsical, nostalgic, and irrepressibly romantic, Stolen Kisses is Truffaut’s timeless ode to the passion and impetuosity of youth." (Criterion)

"The slice-of-life pic also has neat slices of observation, tasteful presentation and easeful acting that avoid banality."

Time Out
Time Out"A movie so full of love that to define it may make it sound like a religious experience, which, of course, it is—but in a wonderfully unorthodox, cockeyed way."

The New York Times
The New York Times"Often improvised and frequently charming and witty, Truffaut's film engages with a sad, dramatic and funny storyline that while not action packed keeps its pace and remains a classic today."
