Rating: A -- Love, obssession, and madness, key issues in most of Truffaut's work, also define this meticulously made 1975 film, arguably his last masterpiece. Full Review

Rating: 4/4 -- 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. Full Review

François Truffaut and his collaborators have written a script faithful to the source, illustrated after with beautiful images thanks to the excellent work of Isabelle Adjani and the photography of Néstor Almendros. [Full Review in Spanish] Full Review
