Top CriticLove, obssession, and madness, key issues in most of Truffaut's work, also define this meticulously made 1975 film, arguably his last masterpiece.

One of Truffaut's best

Truffaut has taken this factual material and made it into a strange, moody film that belongs very much with the darker side of his work.

Top CriticPolished but bland costume drama

Among Truffaut's greatest pictures, with a nuanced, revelatory performance from a 19-year-old Isabelle Adjani at its core.

Shot in the dead center of director François Truffaut's career, this is a frivilous curiosity for Truffaut and Hugo scholars... but little more.

Top CriticLooks and sounds like no other Truffaut film you've ever seen.

Top CriticIts intensity is impressive and remains uncompromised by the prettifying aesthetic touches Truffaut adds here and there in an apparent attempt to distance himself from the overcharged material.
05/07/03
Top CriticAdjani is so uncommonly pretty and smart at the start of the film that her degeneration manages to catch us completely off guard.
