- Quotes
[last lines]
[English subtitled version]
Odile Jouve: I'm afraid Mathilde and Bernard won't be buried together. If I had to write an inscription for their gravestone, I know what it would be: "Neither with you nor without you." But no one will ask my opinion.
Featured review
A woman moves in next door to her previous lover. But they are both married.
Very good movie with excellent performances from Gerard Depardieu and Fanny Ardant. The emotions and performances are outstanding. If you have ever felt a strong love that borders on the irrational, then you may identify with this film. There are some small flaws of coincidences in the story. I found the last 20 minutes quite disturbing, and wish the writers found a different one. It seems to imply that real love must have a tragic ending. It is sort of an 19th Century "romantic" ending. Perhaps, that's what they were shooting for in the modern cotext of France in the 1980's. But nonetheless one of Truffaut's better films. What do you think?
