Description
 
This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In Italian with English subtitles. Widescreen. Runtime is 120 minutes. This anthology explores love among the young via five internationally-produced tales. The filmmakers and countries represented are Truffaut (France), Rossellini (Italy), Shitaro Ishiara (Japan), Marcel Ophüls (West Germany) and Wajda (Poland).

The first segment, Antoine et Colette, is by François Truffaut (France) and returns actor Jean-Pierre Léaud to the role of Antoine Doinel, a role he played three years earlier in The 400 Blows and would return to again in 1968 (Stolen Kisses), 1970 (Bed and Board) and 1979 (Love on the Run). It concerns the frustrations of love for the now 17-year-old Doinel and the unresponsive girl he adores. The second segment, the directorial debut of 21-year-old Renzo Rossellini (Italy), son of Roberto Rossellini and later a noted producer himself, tells the story of a tough mistress who loses her lover to an older, wealthier and more-appreciative woman.

The third, by Japanese film director Shintarō Ishihara is a tale of obsessive and morbid love. Fourth is Marcel Ophüls (Germany) with a story of an unwed mother who contrives to trap the father of her baby. Finally the fifth segment, by Andrzej Wajda depicts a brief intergenerational liaison based upon multiple misunderstandings. The episodes are tied together with still photos by Henri Cartier-Bresson and a wistful Jazz soundtrack by Georges Delerue.

5 of 5 Glad to Find This Available!! July 1, 2021
Reviewer: Thomas Smith from Urbana, OH United States  
I watched Truffaut's "Antoine and Colette" on the Criterion Channel, but was unable to find the entire 5-directors film of which Truffaut's was the first entry. Took a lot of searching on the internet to track it down, but finally located it at MovieDetective.net. So far I've only re-watched Truffaut's section, but the picture & sound were great, and the subtitles were an ENORMOUS help! Thanks, MovieDetective. for making this available!
