the clothes antoine is wearing in the last scene of the film in the record store, they're almost identical to the clothes truffaut wears in day for night. doubt that's a coincidence, any thoughts?
i don't know why, but love on the run seems to be intimately connected to day for night (the use of dani, salades de l'amour, leaud's character's name is alphonse in day for night)
I'm not too familiar with Day for Night, but I thought this was an appropriate to write this, considering it's called "last scene in the film."
The very last scene where Antoine ends up with Sabine over Alain Souchon's song "L'Amour en Fuite", and then basically rocking the frame from there to a scene in the 400 Blows where Antoine is on the carnival ride nearly brought a tear to my eye. This was a character that we had essentially grown up with, and to finally see his story end, and on a high note, one could only hope that he would indeed stay happy and complete.
Just a thought.
Actually there is a scene from Day for Night used in Love on the run as a flashback. Can you spot it?

Very nostalgic. Great editing, underlining that we have now (unfortunately) reached the end of the road of the Doinel saga. share
Well that's because Doinel is Truffaut. Maybe not in the same circumstances, but in a philosophical point of view they lived the same. Besides that there's always Truffauts theme about the temporal and permanent things in life.
BTW, the jacket that Truffaut and Leaud use in Day for Night and in Love on the Run is the same the main character uses in The Man Who Loved Women, which is also kinda an autobiographical film.
Yea I noticed the jacket as well! and also in The Man Who Loved Women. Yes Antoine is Truffaut's alter ego so I think the jacket is quite luminous. In the character Truffaut was able to study the unresolved mysteries of the transient love.
