  Francois Truffaut may well have been influenced by the films of Alfred Hitchcock but to give him credit, he had his own style and way of telling a story. For one, dodgy humour was never in favour, satire is about as close as it gets to cheap laughs. This is a sweat tale of revenge, never over the top or unbelievable but inventive and full of suspense. Jeanne Moreau is delectable as the Bride, unlike Uma Thurman in the sort-of remake in Kill Bill. Quentin Tarantino should sometimes realise that less is more, his retelling of the story is a bit heavy handed, Truffaut's version is sharp as it is chic.

  Stylish revenge thriller by François Truffaut, who I think was rather too ponderous, subtle and out of his element everytime he tried to get into Hitchcock territory; but with the macabre Bernard Herrmann in the music, and the sophisticated and calm Jeanne Moreau; he had winning aces.

  Well done but pretty damn boring.

  Made it on my favorite list tens minutes into the film. The advertising team made a great decision to put full frontal nudity in the trailer. I always thought that was considered taboo in the 60's. This is the film Quentin Tarantino ripped off to make Kill Bill. He claims never to have seen it but I say otherwise. This film is unpopular so there is a chance that he hasn't. But it is ironic that the plot of this is a bride going around killing people for revenge, it's the exact same plot as Kill Bill. This film is a homage to Alfred Hitchcock who is one of Quentin's inspirations. So maybe that's why there both similar, just maybe. I find it hard to believe that Quentin is an Alfred Hitchcock fan yet hasn't watched a film that was inspired by Alfred. Overall this is one cool film. If you liked Kill Bill then watch this as well. It's not as violent as Kill Bill but it's still entertaining. The plot was okay. People say that this film has a big plot hole. That plot hole being, how did she find the men? She herself answered the plot hole. She said it took her a long time but she managed. Hello people, ever heard of phone books and public registries. There are ways to find people that you know nothing about. The men where staying at a hotel so she could have just gone to the hotel and got there names they signed with. Moving along, the writing was okay. I didn't like the scene at the beginning with the two guys. All they where talking about is women. It had nothing to do with the story and contributed nothing so that part should have been taken out. Other then that the rest of the dialogue was great. I really enjoyed reading the movie. The acting was really good. You could really get into the characters minds and feel there suffering. That's something I didn't feel in Kill Bill. The direction was superb by the same director of The 400 Blows. The camera angles where great. They used the camera angles I like because if a film doesn't have the camera angles I like then it does take away from the experience. This is probably the longest review I have ever written. It just goes to show you how much I love this film. If you are a fan of Alfred Hitchcock and foreign films then this is the perfect film for you.

  It is obvious that this is the movie that inspired ¨Kill Bill¨ because there is a lot of similities and homage scenes, eventhough Tarantino stated he has never seen it. Guess what?! I don´t believe him. ¨The Bride Wore Black¨ is a hitchcokian flix that is beautifully photographed… More
  It is obvious that this is the movie that inspired ¨Kill Bill¨ because there is a lot of similities and homage scenes, eventhough Tarantino stated he has never seen it. Guess what?! I don´t believe him. ¨The Bride Wore Black¨ is a hitchcokian flix that is beautifully photographed and employs a no-nonsense score. The film is fairly gripping and well acted, I would give it a higher rating because the story good, however flawed.

  The premise of Kill Bill (oh you Tarantino copycat...),brilliantly extracting influences from Hitchcock,probably through their conversation monsieur Francois arranged in an interview style,the Bride is Moreau in her most sexual display and provocative grandeur.Beauty is subjective,revenge is a personal cause,under the surface injustice wears any color possible,detective stories are of course enchanting.The tricks of Truffaut's majesty.

  Best scene: As the camera trails him and his mother, a young boy suspects an unwelcome presence may be following them. He's one smart Cookie.
