Paris, 1968. Antoine Doinel is dishonourably discharged from the army and once again searching for his place in the world. Falling almost accidentally into work as a private detective, he tumbles through jobs, romantic entanglements and comic misadventures. STOLEN KISSES is François Truffaut’s playful, tender and irresistibly charming ode to youthful desire.

Rialto Recommends STOLEN KISSES is Truffaut at his most light-footed and romantic, following Antoine Doinel through Paris with affection, mischief and delicious uncertainty. Jean-Pierre Léaud makes every mistake feel irresistible as work, love and adulthood refuse to proceed according to plan. Warm, witty and wonderfully alive, it is French New Wave charm at its most effortless.
