Good to know

These link loosely through Antoine Doinel across five films but stand alone, so release order works best for all. Doinel run spans 400 Blows to Love on the Run outside this core list. Day for Night is film inside film and pairs well with Small Change. Start with 400 Blows, Jules and Jim or Day for Night.
