This is a short film, part of a collection called
L'amour à vingt ans. One shouldn't expect more from it than what you would of any other short film (somehow I think it's a format not considered entirely seriously). Anyway, I think it works well for all 27 minutes of it - I have a very personal theory that an average short film can be 8-10 minutes and it won't be damaged, only very good short films can last 10-15 minutes and they will keep you engaged for so long... and there are very few excellent short films that can last more than that and still remain interesting and not bore you. You can say in those terms that
Antoine et Colette does that.
It's not a big story or very innovative but it's really well narrated. It's also an incredibly modern storytelling, it's the kind of narrative that's still used these days.. it fools you so much that you forget it was actually done fifty years ago. 50!
