Jean-Pierre Léaud returns in the delightful Stolen Kisses, the third installment in the Antoine Doinel series. It is now 1968, and the mischievous and perpetually love-struck Doinel has been dishonorably discharged from the army and released onto the streets of Paris, where he stumbles into the unlikely profession of private detective and embarks on a series of misadventures. Whimsical, nostalgic, and irrepressibly romantic, Stolen Kisses is Truffaut’s timeless ode to the passion and impetuosity of youth.

Release Notes on Restoration
Stolen Kisses
Stolen Kisses is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.66:1. This new digital transfer was created from a 35mm interpositive on a Spirit DataCine. The soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit from a 35mm magnetic soundtrack; audio restoration tools were used to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle. To further enhance the image, the MTI digital restoration system was used to remove thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches.
