Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Truffaut has taken this factual material and made it into a strange, moody film that belongs very much with the darker side of his work.

Looks and sounds like no other Truffaut film you've ever seen.

fresh:
Its intensity is impressive and remains uncompromised by the prettifying aesthetic touches Truffaut adds here and there in an apparent attempt to distance himself from the overcharged material.
