Love On the Run, of course, is stuck in the past, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. The film’s relentless quotation is often moving, though at times Truffaut goes overboard, especially when he excerpts such long scenes from his previous films that one nearly forgets the surrounding present-day material that prompted these flashbacks. The story of Love On the Run itself is minimal, and the flashbacks often overpower the new material. But Truffaut makes interesting use of his structure, inserting several flashbacks to scenes that didn’t exist in the previous films, scenes that might be excerpted from some never-made film that fills in the blanks in between Bed And Board and Love On the Run […] It’s an acknowledgment that nothing is certain, that life is a constant process of upheavals and changes, and that despite this lack of permanence the best thing to do is to approach each new adventure, each new love, each new career, pretending that it will last forever. What a great way to say goodbye to Antoine. — Ed Howard
