French (L'Homme qui aimait les femmes)
1977 · Directed by François Truffaut · 119 min
Bertrand Morane, a engineer with a single-minded fascination for women, sets down the story of his pursuits in a memoir. Truffaut tells it as a light, elegant French comedy of manners, with a literary voice-over and a gentle, observing eye.
Why it matters in cinema history
A characteristic work of Truffaut's later period, when the New Wave's energy had settled into a classical, humane, literary style. It shows the director's craft at its most controlled.
Watch with intention
Watch how Bertrand tells his own story, and ask how far his narration can be trusted.
