Isabelle Adjani was robbed of an Oscar

She's a great actress, and here she was given her breakthrough part, but Truffaut's direction is so cold and clinical that we don't work up any enthusiasm for Adele's story. A great performance in a dull movie usually won't be rewarded.

Truffaut couldn't be cold and clinical if he tried. He was a romantic, in love with women and with love.
