MCT:March 10, 2008Truffaut exploite effectivement a priori habituellement toujours le même et unique thème: les relations amoureuses, bien évidemment. Sauf que l'approche en demeure tellement - oui, tellement! - différente de films en films que l'on ne peut pas s'en lasser facilement.
D'ailleurs, c'est un de ces films où la fin fait tout le film à elle seule, ou elle compense pour tous les petites longueurs et tous les petits défauts rencontrés tout au long du visionnement. Car, oui, certaines longueurs il y a, faute d'avoir un personnage un peu moins charismatique qu'à l'habitude, mais les dialogues y sont encore merveilleusement apprêtés à la Truffaut et il ne nous laisse plus qu'à se laisser bercer par la fin tragique.
Encore une fois, Truffaut aborde la question de l'homme loyal qui excuse son adultère par l'amour charnel et passionnel et par l'amour de la femme elle-même. -
MCT:September 11, 2007I've been reading some of Truffaut's essays and find how much of his own criticisms he applies here. Very apt and very analyctical, a lot of techniques, like the one he mentioned for the essay on the last film of Jean Cocteau are put into use here. He doesn't rip it off, but puts his own touch, like a student. This film, I like for one reason, the narrative. The build-up, a plot that is clear and structered, though not very tight, but it's not important, what's important is the central character, what happens to him and what he does, what he expects. We never know why he says the years he spent with his wife were a failed experiment, they look fine, but Truffaut doesn't care, he wants to pay attention to the present, not the past, not flashbacks, but now. It's not as sweet as 'Jules et Jim', but it has a beauty about it, a tragedy about it just like the afore-mentioned movie, but it also has a Hitchcockian suspense to it, but in a melodramatic manner.
