Synopsis
François Truffaut puts a contemporary spin on the legend of Tristan and Isolde in this Hitchcockian study of guilt and romantic obsession. Happily married Bernard Coudray (Gérard Depardieu) finds his seemingly idyllic suburban existence upended when former lover Mathilde (Fanny Ardant)—also now married—happens to move in next door. Keeping their pasts hidden from their spouses, the pair resume their torrid, turbulent affair—reigniting an old flame that threatens to burn them both.
