Description

The Woman Next Door
France | 1981 | col | 106 mins | dir. François Truffaut, with Gérard Depardieu, Fanny Ardant | cert. 12A

Truffaut's penultimate film pursues several themes that the director favored throughout his career, namely adultery, obsession, amour fou and the ever-thrilling crime passionnel. Bernard (Gérard Depardieu) and Mathilde (Fanny Ardant) are two former lovers, thrown back together by destiny when Mathilde and her new husband move in next door. 'Love stories must have a beginning, a middle and an end', agree Bernard and Mathilde, who seem perpetually stuck between the second and third of these stages.
