The Woman Next Door (1981)

Posted on 08:33 by john cena
Not Recommended
France
Feature Film
Original Title: La femme d'à côté
Director: François Truffaut
Writers: François Truffaut, Jean Aurel, Suzanne Schiffman
Cinematographer: William Lubtchansky
Composer: Georges Delerue
Cast: Gérard Depardieu, Fanny Ardant, Véronique Silver, Henri Garcin, Michèle Baumgartner, Roger Van Hool

Typically fine performances form Depardieu and Ardant raise Truffaut’s mildly diverting drama, an exploration of the effects of secrets, lies, infidelity, and obsession on bourgeois domesticity, above its undercooked and never-quite-credible screenplay, but by the time its tragic denouement arrives, it all feels rather silly.
