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.
