Plot: Scientist Bertrand Morane, "never in the company of men after 5," seduces women by evening and writes about the experiences in the early morning. Though 40ish and somewhat square, no woman in the t...( read more read more... )own of Montpelier seems capable of resisting his earnest advances. Not much else happens in The Man Who Loved Women, but in the hands of master visual storyteller François Truffaut, the threadbare plot accumulates deep and ominous philosophical resonances. What drives Morane from woman to woman, and what accounts for his remarkable success? Does he secretly dislike women and consider them interchangeable (as one of the more prurient characters charges, to Morane's genuine befuddlement), or is his enthusiasm a kind of celebration? Truffaut refuses to answer plainly, but does drop clues; as his camera focuses on everyday objects, many take on a chilling, otherwordly luster, and coldly foreshadow Morane's fate. A deceptively simple film, The Man Who Loved Women is neither an indictment nor an apology for philandering; rather, it's a courageous, lovingly detailed portrait of a complex, intelligent man suffering from an altogether intractable complaint. This film was clumsily remade in English in 1983 by Blake Edwards, with Burt Reynolds assuming the role played here with such understated skill by the wonderful Charles Denner. --Miles Bethany

    Un peu comme Woody Allen, il me semble que Truffaut procède également lui aussi à une certaine technique de recyclage, dans laquelle il prend plaisir à inter-relier certains aspects de ses films. Comme c'est toutefois abordé d'une manière différente à chaque fois, on s'en délecte puisque le cinéma de Truffaut emmène une certaine fraîcheur au cinéma international.

    J'aurais tendance à dire que Charles Denner est un Dieu, mais il faut dire que son personnage est atrocement bien servi par le scénario, qui, oh mon Dieu, est tout simplement fantasmagorique. Pas qu'il ose vraiment, non, mais qu'il aborde plutôt un sujet assez banal d'une manière qui ne l'est pas du tout.

    Au fil de l'histoire, le personnage principal devient beaucoup trop fascinant pour que l'on ne puisse pas s'intéresser à ses péripéties.

    Vraiment, d'une fraicheur étonnante.

    Spectacular. The film is basically about a Casanova-type man. However, it doesn't simply resort to sequences of seduction or sex. It's extremely well written, never being predictable, always staying interesting. It packs more riveting dialogue, interesting anecdotes and philosophical musings than you might expect from a film about a womanizer. It probes deeply into its subject matter and even its secondary characters. Definitely one of the most well written films I've seen.

    Extremely clever "love story" that is romantic without being sappy or stupid. It's a romantic (dark) comedy for the y-chromosome.
