action

The marriage of Antoine and Christine Doinel, the couple from Stolen Kisses and Table and Bed , fails after Antoine cheats on his wife with her girlfriend Liliane. Antoine Christine previously assumed a lesbian relationship with Liliane. He is now in love with the record seller Sabine. Antoine and Christine are the first couple to separate under the new divorce law , which requires mutual consent. Son Alphonse stays with Christine. When Antoine brings the boy to the train station, he sees his platonic childhood sweetheart Colette and jumps on the train to join her. The two quarrel over the untruths in Antoine's autobiographical novel "Liebessalat". Antoine pulls the emergency brake and escapes. He meets his dead mother's ex-lover and accompanies him to the cemetery. A little later Christine is supposed to mediate between Antoine and his new flame Sabine. She doesn't meet Sabine, but Colette, who is in love with Sabine's brother, the bookseller Xavier. The two women talk about Antoine, who meanwhile rushes into Sabine's arms and tells her a story that Sabine touches so much that she at least wants to try to stay with him.

Love on the run is the last film in the Antoine Doinel cycle . Truffaut had the unique opportunity to use film material from twenty years of fictional biography, so that love on the run forms the skeleton for lush flashbacks - albeit in a new context. For example, the film The American Night , which is not part of the Antoine Doinel cycle, is also used, in which Dani plays a script volunteer who is in love with Léaud (as the film star Alphonse). On the run in love , she is now Christine's friend Liliane.

One of the most amusing scenes in the film is the one in which Antoine cheats on his wife after he suspects she has a lesbian relationship with Liliane. Christine catches the two of them in bed and Antoine excuses himself that Liliane wrapped it in newspaper after reading his manuscript. It touched him so much that he had to sleep with her.

The scenes in the courthouse are currently relevant. Christine learns from her lawyer Raoul Lecorps ( Jean-Pierre Ducos ) that couples with the will to divorce had to write insulting letters by mutual consent. If they couldn't, he (Raoul) put them on. Shortly thereafter, however, Christine makes it clear that the divorce à la Giscard d'Estaing was already used by Napoleon to get rid of Joséphine .

Reviews

  • film-dienst : Elegant and funny, staged with the empathy of a loving understanding.
  • Hans-Christoph Blumenberg in Die Zeit , March 2, 1979: Quite pretty to look at, mildly amusing, and of course. Staged with that discrete elegance that Truffaut also has in his weaker works. But in the end the film remains badly unsatisfactory, little more than the style exercise of a master who doesn't want to come up with anything new, who already considers his work to be finished: a film of friendly emptiness.

Awards

Love on the run was nominated for the Golden Bear at the 1979 Berlin Film Festival . Georges Delerue won a César in 1980 for the score for this film.
