CRITERION COLLECTION: THE SOFT SKIN [BLU-RAY] (VERSION FRANAISE)

Details

• Release Year: 1964
• Genre: Action/Adventure, Horror
• Plot: Franc¸ois Truffaut followed up the international phenomenon Jules and Jim with this tense tale of infidelity. The unassuming Jean Desailly is perfectly cast as a celebrated literary scholar, seemingly happily married, who embarks on an affair with a gorgeous stewardess, played by Franc¸oise Dorle´ac, who is captivated by his charm and reputation. As their romance gets serious, the film grows anxious, leading to a wallop of a conclusion. Truffaut made The Soft Skin at a time when he was immersing himself in the work of Alfred Hitchcock, and that master’s influence can be felt throughout this complex, insightful, and underseen French New Wave treasure.
