THE SOFT SKIN---Francois Truffaut---Criterion DVD---Library copy---Like New!

Description: François 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 Françoise Dorléac, 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.

Since it is a library DVD, it does not have the booklet usually associated with a Criterion DVD, but the disc is near mint, indicating hardly any library patron ever checked out this marvelous Truffaut film.
