L’Histoire d’Adèle H [The Story of Adèle H] **** (1975, Isabelle Adjani, Bruce Robinson, Sylvia Marriott) – Classic Movie Review 3015
Director François Truffaut’s 1975 film about the desperate and doomed passion of the great French author Victor Hugo’s second daughter Adèle for handsome English officer Lieutenant Pinson is wonderfully lush and romantic – and deliciously […]
Les Deux Anglaises et le Continent [Anne and Muriel] **** (1971, Kika Markham, Stacey Tendeter, Jean-Pierre Léaud) – Classic Movie Review 3014
François Truffaut’s tantalising period romantic drama finds him returning to the love triangle theme he earlier profitably mined in Jules et Jim (1963) and La Peau Douce (1964). It tells the story of a French […]
Une Belle Fille Comme Moi [Such a Gorgeous Kid Like Me] ** (1972, Bernadette Lafont, André Dussollier, Claude Brasseur, Charles Denner, Guy Marchand, Philippe Lèotard, Anne Kreis) – Classic Movie Review 3013
Co-writer/director François Truffaut’s 12th film from 1972 is a comfortable and familiar-feeling black comedy but it is not at all compelling or distinguished. It stars Bernadette Lafont, the lead of his very first film, Les Mistons, […]
Fahrenheit 451 **** (1966, Julie Christie, Oskar Werner, Cyril Cusack, Anton Diffring, Jeremy Spenser, Bee Duffell, Michael Balfour, Ann Bell) – Classic Movie Review 3012
François Truffaut’s love of books shines through his thoroughly compelling and intriguing adaptation from Ray Bradbury’s 1953 novel of his 1984-style sci-fi story about a typically oppressive, dystopian future world where books have been outlawed […]
Le Mépris [Contempt] **** (1963, Brigitte Bardot, Jack Palance, Michel Piccoli, Fritz Lang, Giorgia Moll) – Classic Movie Review 3,011
‘Brigitte Bardot at her bold, bare and brazen best!’ Jean-Luc Godard’s 1963 French New Wave meditation on cinema Le Mépris [Contempt] features France’s number one sex symbol in provocative poses. ‘Bardot at her bold, bare […]
La Peau Douce [Silken Skin] **** (1964, Jean Dessailly, Françoise Dorléac, Nelly Benedetti) – Classic Movie Review 3010
For his dazzling fourth feature, co-writer and director François Truffaut returns in 1964 to the love triangle theme of his previous movie, Jules et Jim, but this time with a weak man (Jean Dessailly) at the […]
I Capture the Castle ** (2002, Romola Garai, Rose Byrne, Bill Nighy, Tara Fitzgerald, Henry Cavill, Henry Thomas, Marc Blucas) – Classic Movie Review 3009
Alas, Dodie Smith’s distinguished novel makes a disappointing, bloodless love story and coming-of-age movie, set in England in the Thirties. Romola Garai stars as young gel, 17-year-old Cassandra Mortmain, in and out of love against […]
