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
04/27/05
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
06/29/04
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.
05/20/03
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.
