The Woman Next Door

Legendary French writer and director François Truffaut reunited with Gérard Depardieu that featured Fanny Ardent in her first leading role for this tragic love story. The path of two lovers crosses again when years later she moves next door to her former lover which reignites their doomed relationship that leads to tragedy. Truffaut takes the "amour fou" concept and infuses it with a dose of Hitchcockian style that dooms the lovers. Depardieu and Ardent star with terrific performances as the doomed lovers which makes the film even more chilling. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
