I saw this movie on a virgin atlantic flight from south africa. And could never figure out what it was called. It's a brilliant film. Simple, straight forward and heart-felt. Watch it to feel your humanity soar.

I enjoyed your review for Shoot The Piano Player but I'd like to know when you think Charlie is searching. Charlie knew two things, his love and the piano. He lost his love and thus lost himself but never lost the piano and because of this he is extremely passive. Truffaut once said "I despise moralists" and so does Charlie. I never confused his retreat to the piano with 'absurdity' but see it as a lovely vocation, just as Truffauts escape as a juvenile was cinema and books.

The Silence
Two sisters; one dying, the other sexually promiscuous – both haunted by the others presence. Trapped in a hotel room, in a foreign country, on a holiday gone awry. With such a simple premise, Bergman… read review
Shoot the Piano Player
I have seen many Truffaut films, and always felt him to be less intellectually potent though more heart-felt in his film making than his contemporaries in the New Wave. It was Goddard that transcended… read review
