Our take

After The Bride Wore Black, François Truffaut returned to the femme fatale in this anarchic and cheeky Hitchcockian thriller. Crowned the filmmaker’s finest by New Yorker critic Richard Brody, it stars a brilliant, vertiginous Bernadette Lafont as a woman with loose morals but sparkling humor.
