The Woman Next Door

dir. Francois Truffaut, France, 1981, 35mm, 106 mins, color, French w/ English subtitles

Madame Jouve knows all about the mad love of Bernard Coudray (Gerard Depardieu) and Mathilde Bauchard (Fanny Ardant). They had been lovers seven years before the picture begins and parted violently. Each married and had a son named Thomas. Then one day, the Coudrays discover that they have new next-door neighbors named Bauchard. Clearly Truffaut’s most Jamesian film in its mastery of oblique narrative and ironic perspective. He weaves an intricate tapestry of background detail and the narrative never loses its thrust or tension, despite repeated shifts in the point of view. Truffaut not only continued a grand tradition of sensibility, he broke new ground in his own career.
