ROARING TWENTIES

Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was François Truffaut's

Baisers volés / Stolen Kisses (1968)

This is the third in the Antoine Doinel series wherein Truffaut's alter ego is shown moving through life in its various phases. Adventures. Mistakes. Life.

I have seen all of these and, really, should simply schedule them in sequence, all together, later on. The alphabetical approach of the best films doesn't do justice to the continuity.

The films are great and this one is no exception. Charming. Idiosyncratic and very human. French version of human.

I will see all of them over again and so this is a 5 out of Netflix5.
