The Magnificent vision for this week features the public screening of the film Baisers voles (Stolen kisses) by François Truffaut  (France 1968, 90’, Hd, col., o. v. it. s/t), in  a restored version. Repeat screening on Wednesday 12 November at 4.00 p.m. Admission 6.00/4.00/3.00 euro.

At his third appearance following Les 400 coups (The four-hundred blows) and the episode Antoine and Colette he directed in the episode film L’amour à vingt ans (Love at twenty), Truffaut brings back the character of Antoine Doinel, played by his fetish actor Jean-Pierre Léaud, to tell us a story full of melancholy sweetness, in which the protagonist, who is desperately looking for his place in the world, faces a journey towards growth and inner maturity.
