Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Love on the Run (1979)
LOVE ON THE RUN is a movie co-written and directed by François Truffaut in 1979. The picture earned a nomination for the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.

This is the last installment in the Antoine Doinel saga. In this episode, Doinel will divorce Claude Jade, experience some problems with his last girlfriend Dorothée and see again Marie-France -Colette- Pisier, his first love. Overcoming his fear of intimacy, the eccentric Doinel will finally find the right words to convince Dorothée to give him a second chance.
