!!Tropes:
* AllWomenAreLustful: Antoine is late for his meeting with Christine at the beginning of the film, because Sabine jumps him for some more sex.
* ArtisticLicense: An astonished Colette calls Antoine out for the BS in his memoir, specifically the part where he writes about her family moving in across from him, when it was actually the other way around (because he was stalking her). Antoine says that he fictionalized parts.
* BackForTheFinale: Colette, not seen since third film in the series ''Film/StolenKisses'' (and that was only a brief cameo) returns for the last movie. She's a lawyer but has had personal struggles, with the death of her child and a subsequent divorce.
* ClipShow: Nearly a third of this film is clips from the previous four Antoine Doinel films, which are presented as flashbacks.
* ContrivedCoincidence: Xavier, Colette's new boyfriend, turns out to be Sabine's brother.
* {{Flashback}}: Many, most of which are clips from previous films in the series. A few, such as the Liliane scenes and the death of Colette's child, are original.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Christine and Liliane kiss each other on the cheek in a giggly, Gallic sort of way. Then Christine says "If Antoine saw that we'd never see the end of it."
* IronicJuxtaposition: Right after the judge has signed off on Antoine's divorce decree, he looks out the window and sees a newly married couple, the wife in her wedding dress, rushing into a car.
* LastGirlWins: Sabine, Antoine's new girlfriend at the start of the series, is the one he finally ends up with, rather than OldFlame Colette or ex-wife Christine or old girlfriend Liliane.
* MythologyGag: Besides all the direct references to Antoine Doinel films, in non-Doinel film ''Film/DayForNight'' someone describes the life of Leaud's character as "love and other troubles" and someone else says that would be a good title for a book. In this movie Antoine has written a fictionalized memoir called "Love and Other Troubles" ("Les Salades de L'amour"). In this movie Liliane's speech about why she's breaking up with Antoine is almost word-for-word the same speech that the same actress gives in ''Day for Night''.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: On the train, Colette gives Antoine an honest, well-deserved dressing down, pointing out how she was never really romantically interested in him and he more or less stalked her, and how he hasn't changed and is still self-centered and interested only in himself and the romantic chase.
* RomComJob: Antoine has gotten a novel published and works as a proofreader for a publisher. Sabine works in a record store and moonlights repairing clocks and watches.
* SexySpectacles: The judge finalizing Antoine's divorce turns out to be a startlingly good-looking woman. As she puts on glasses to read the decree, Antoine remembers a time when he was in bed with Christine and he specifically asked her to put her glasses back on.
* StockFootage: A rather odd use of this trope. Danièle Graule, who plays Liliane, and Jean-Pierre Leaud starred together in Truffaut film ''Film/DayForNight'', in which they played different characters, although hers was also named Liliane. The argument between Liliane and Antoine in this film is actually footage from ''Day for Night'', which was reused for this film as part of the story.
* TakeThatCritics: As he's sending Alphonse off to music camp, Antoine says to practice hard, and that if he does he can be a musician. Alphonse says what if he doesn't practice hard, and Antoine says "If you don't, you'll be a music critic."
* WantingIsBetterThanHaving: Another part of Colette's dissection of Antoine's personality, when she diagnoses his romantic adventures:
-->"It seems all you care about is the first encounter. As soon as they're together, it's all downhill."
* WritersCannotDoMath: Dialogue establishes that Antoine and Colette first separated three years ago, and a flashback shows that Alphonse was a toddler. But in this movie Alphonse is a boy of at least eight.
