Courageously ridiculous, blushingly romantic, tastefully perverse — in short, the best sort of Truffaut movie, in company with Wild Child and Two English Girls and The Story of Adele H., if not nearly the best of his best, in fact rather wan and lethargic. A necrophiliac meditation on love, death, and fidelity beyond the grave, inspired by two Henry James stories, Altar of the Dead and Beast in the Jungle, and pervaded with tributes to some of the departed that Truffaut personally holds dear. Starring Truffaut himself and Nathalie Baye. (1978) — Duncan Shepherd
