The Soft Skin (La Peau Douce)

synopsis


Fresh from his success with the critically acclaimed Jules et Jim, Truffaut chose to direct yet another film focusing on the intricacies and complications involved in a love triangle. Pierre (Jean Desailly) is married and has a child. A distinguished author and publisher by profession he is often invited to talk about his work at venues the world over. While away from home on a lecturing tour of Portugal he meets a young air stewardess, Nicole (Francoise Dorleac) and falls in love. Soon they are involved in an intense relationship which Pierre must be careful to hide from his family. However, when this infidelity is discovered by his wife, she decides that Pierre must pay dearly for his betrayal. In many respects closer to the spirit of classic French melodrama than that of the Nouvelle Vague, this powerful and emotive film displays the profound influence of Alfred Hitchcock on Truffaut.
