- For another week...

You must be lonely up there,

in bed...

at night, alone...

No, no... I'm fine!

Is he cute?

All pink, with tiny hands...

Congratulations!

His eyes're open

Who's he look like?

Watch out for him:

lot of kidnappings lately!

The strangler...

We call him that, too

Don't stare!

Right...

Drinks on the house!

On the house?

A real "blessed event!"

Everybody... even you!

There, it's done!

Have to be in shape!

Terrific!

- Like it, Sylvana?

- Extraordinary!

That'll be our room

No street noise...

I can wave from my window

The baby's room'll be there

So you like it?

Terrific!

I have to get dinner ready

I saw you!

You go for her, eh?

Sylvana, that's who!

You go for her!

A nice buxom Italian...

sexy mouth!

You bastard...

Remember our first kiss?

I was petrified!

What?.. You did it all!

You're mistaken...

I remember very well...

We were in a taxi

It stopped. I leaned over...

to give you a little goodnight kiss

I saw your lips part

I said to myself...

This is it!

You're out of your mind!

I liked it,

but you took the initiative...

That's your story!

You grabbed me... and I let you

It wasn't that way at all!

Here's exactly how you were...

Your head thrown back...

eyes closed,

lips slightly open...

like this...

You'd thought about it

About us kissing, one day

All girls think about that

They do, eh?

So you admit it!

I'll take Ghislain now

He didn't cry once

Good.

I can work at home again soon

You have some mail

It's a certificate

You named him Alphonse?

Look...

Antoine did it!

He won't get away with it!

He knew I didn't want that name!

I'd lay her badly

but I'd lay her gladly!

Alphonse'll be a great writer

Know what I'm going to do?

Educate him myself...

at home.

Alphonse'll only learn...

important things!

We'll see...

Come, Ghislain...

Alphonse!

Pretty little bottom...

Alphonse?

Just like his mother!

Watch papa...

He's going to the bathroom...

It's an arctic expedition!

Look...

A flashlight...

A book...

Uncut pages, so...

a knife!

Now what?

A newspaper!

- You forgot to go shopping

- For what?

I left you a list

I didn't see any list

There's nothing to eat!

I wrote it all down for you

Get Mme Martin...

to baby-sit. We'll go out

She's not home

Nothing at all?

Only baby-food

Yummy! Let's eat that

If he wakes up...

You know Alphonse never wakes up!

We'll buy more tomorrow

Tonight, we eat!

Theater Tonight,

live from Marienbad

Look... The Strangler!

Did you know he was on TV?

No. Is he a singer?

He does imitations!

You kept an old picture of me...

Not bad, eh?

Last year...

was it in Carlsbad... or Marienbad?

Once again I walk through

the drawing rooms...

the long corridors...

luxurious, lugubrious...

I am not an apparition

I am a woman, which is...

just the opposite!

You say I'm exceptional...

You're right, I am!

He saw you last night!

Terrific!

Why didn't you tell us...

you were a comedian!

Need some help, Doinel?

THE NEXT MORNING

Remember me?

I brought you something

Come in

You noticed?

I saw it fall in the water

Why didn't you say anything?

Because the man said

the model was fragile

I was sorry about the bracelet

But I didn't want to bother you

I thought you'd want it

Mlle Maki, my roommate

Won't you sit down?

I'm sorry, I have to go...

We were just having tea...

I'm already late...

I'll show you out

We never see you any more

You like working for the Americans?

Yes. It gives me time to think

I'm writing a novel

No kidding!

My wife doesn't know.

I write at night

A novelist? Like Baudelaire...

He started with flowers, too

He didn't write novels

What about "Flowers of Evil?"

That's poetry

I know more about him than you

I just read an article

You know he was a priest's son?

His father was an ordained priest

Then he worked for a family:

Choiseul-Praslin...

as a tutor...

Open the door

What's your novel about?

Life in general... my youth...

From the particular

to the general...

Oh? Well, we'll have to read it

I get an autographed copy, right?

"For Cesarin"

What's the title?

Haven't found one yet

It shouldn't be hard...

Any trumpets in your novel?

Any drums?

Then call it:

"Neither Trumpets nor Drums!"

Not bad, eh?

What do you want?

We're closed...

What are you looking for?

A fight!

This is a little place...

no action...

We cater to old folks and children

You don't want to fight them, right?

If you want a fight,

there's a cafe...

at the corner. You'll get...

what you're looking for!

What's that?

"Japanese Women?"

I need it for my work

Let's see...

You look good in glasses

I don't like them

I've finished

I know why you like glasses...

She wore them

Who?

Your first girl

No she didn't

I thought she did

She made you suffer...

She had me doing in circles!

What a nightmare!

Then, one night, it was all over

At 8 PM, I loved her...

By 9 PM, I couldn't stand her

I was cured!

She said the wrong thing...

Exactly...

And I can't even remember what

It was a relief

If I ask something, will you do it?

It depends...

Quibbling already!

Will you do it?

Ask me!

Put your glasses on again?

- Am I too early?

- Not at all...

What shall we do tonight?

I thought we'd go to a movie

I haven't picked one out yet,

though...

I thought

we might have dinner here...

That'd be fine

We could go to a movie after

I'll be right back

My friend is so sorry.

Her mother is sick...

so she can't stay

I hope it's not too serious

Her mother is very sick!

She has to leave right away

DO NOT DISTURB:

Did you just get home?

We worked late

Look at the time!

I had to eat, didn't I?

He tiptoes in...

but I'm awake!

Know what he says?

"I had to eat, didn't I!"

"Kyoko loves Antoine"

"Come when you can, but can soon"

"She says goodnight

and thinks of Antoine"

This just came

Who's it for?

I don't know

Must be for you

No one would send me flowers here

Must be for Nicole

I don't know...

Oh, maybe...

For you?..

You must be dreaming!

For me, maybe?

It's hard to read...

written very small...

It's for Doinel!

- What floor?

- Ground floor

Was someone with you?

No, no one...

What's that?

Can I see Alphonse, please?

He's in there

Look at what he brought

I know about them...

They were for you... I lost them...

then I thought

it would look silly...

I'm delighted!

Have you forgotten we're going out?

I haven't forgotten... I can't

We're all night...

testing, tonight...

And what's this?

Nose?.. "Hana"

"Hana"... not bad

You answer the phone

with "Machi machi"

What does that mean?

No... it's "Mochi mochi"

It means "Hello"

Then if you say "Hello, hello"...

it's four "mochis?"

No, just two!

This is nice, isn't it?

If I commit suicide with someone...

I'd like it to be you

Her name is Kyoko, she loves you"

If she were just another woman...

but she's not.

She's another world...

You see what I mean?

What's that?

A lesson...

At this hour?

What's that:
your violin?

François Truffaut

François Roland Truffaut (French: [fʁɑ̃.swa ʁɔ.lɑ̃ tʁyfo]; 6 February 1932 – 21 October 1984) was a French film director, screenwriter, producer, actor, and film critic, as well as one of the founders of the French New Wave. In a film career lasting over a quarter of a century, he remains an icon of the French film industry, having worked on over 25 films. Truffaut's film The 400 Blows came to be a defining film of the French New Wave movement, and was followed by four sequels, Antoine et Colette, Stolen Kisses, Bed and Board, and Love on the Run between 1958 and 1979. Truffaut's 1973 film Day for Night earned him critical acclaim and several awards, including the BAFTA Award for Best Film and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. His other notable films include Shoot the Piano Player (1960), Jules et Jim (1961), The Wild Child (1970), Two English Girls (1971), and The Woman Next Door (1981). more…
