My first Truffaut film... and not an experience I enjoyed, I can tell you that. I am all for character-centered dramas, but I have to be connected to the character in some way for that to work. I felt absolutely nothing for these people. I couldn't figure out who they were, I couldn't figure out what they really wanted... so no matter what happened to them, I didn't care. Because of that disinterest, the movie dragged on and on. At one point, I thought, "Surely we've got to be near the end now, I've been watching for like two and a half hours," and I checked the time and I had really only been watching for about 20 minutes. That's something that happens in sitcoms, but it happened to me in real life. This movie was so uninteresting that a cliche became reality. That's got to say something. 1 star.
Flickchart: #1371 out of 1850, between The Perfect Score and Apocalypse Now.
