Plot:

This film about passionnate and obesseive love, and self-destruction, has been written from real Adele Hugo's diary.
Isabelle Adjani's SUBLIME performance. Brilliant!!
I know it's a famous story and it's Victor Hugo's 2nd daughter, but it's such a difficult story to make it interesting as a film, the long and obsessive waiting like the hopelessly romantic Adele's love for Pinson. But, what can I say, it's François Truffaut, he had his way to make the story into a moody and powerful drama. However, I didn't like it that much is because I didn't like Adele Hugo, a person who could not move on really is sad.
C'est, bien évidemment, l'un des films les moins ingénieux de Truffaut, mais qui ne manque pas de puissance émotive. Si l'histoire d'Adèle Hugo nous fait bailler à quelques reprises par son aspect autobiographique et lamentatif, l'envergure de l'amour qu'elle éprouve pour le Lieutenant Pinson atteint des sommets inatteignables, et sa résignation n'en devient que plus cruelle.
Toutefois, comme le film se complaît parfois dans des longueurs inépuisables, l'intérêt du spectateur en prend tout un coup.
Uninspired direction leads to a rather rote storytelling. The film does have its moments but I found it rather didactic.
An impressive study of madness and obsessive behavior, expertly acted and beautifully shot. I loved the colors and lighting, though I'm not a fan of the music. The story is interesting and exciting, and Truffaut did a very good job here. Maybe it's not one of his best, but Adele H is definitely worth watching for Adjani's excellent performance.
Serious story of Victor Hugo's obsessive and overly high strung daughter. Isabel Ajani is spectacularly beautiful, she's a marvel acting wise too. Probably need to be in the right mood to watch this one.
THIS IS AMAZING! Ms Adjani portrays tragic insnaity brought on by love-lost misery in a poignant impossible swirl of pacified emotion that is completley moving, gripping and beleievable, at the same age as Keira Kinghtly somehow I fell this is a far greater achievement!
