Love at 20 - Antoine Doinel episode (1962 François Truffaut)

A section from the multi-director L'Amour à Vingt Ans  this constitutes Antoine Doinel Episode 2 (and thus should not be omitted). Jean-Pierre Léaud is now a young, independent man with job at Philips record production, and his own apartment and record player (he's getting into the classics and attends lectures on experimental music), who falls for Colette (Marie-France Pisier) at a concert. Setting the pattern for the later films, he becomes friendly with her parents, but she doesn't seem romantically interested in him.

The scene at the concert where he and the girl begin to notice each other is wonderfully cut (by Claudine Boucher); film is shot by Raoul Coutard in widescreen and ends with a series of photos by Henri-Cartier Bresson.

I know.. It's because it's a screen shot from L'Amour en Fuite which has cropped the original....
