L’homme qui aimait les femmes [The Man Who Loved Women] **** (1977, Charles Denner, Brigitte Fossey, Leslie Caron, Nelly Borgeaud, Nathalie Baye) – Classic Movie Review 3017
Director François Truffaut’s incisive and entertaining 1977 romantic comedy L’homme qui aimait les femmes [The Man Who Loved Women] boasts a subtle and touching central performance by Charles Denner as Bertrand Morane, the obsessed Frenchman […]

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 […]

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, […]
