If you loved Diario íntimo de Adela H., try La mujer de al lado
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by François Truffaut, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Diario íntimo de Adela H., the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What La mujer de al lado is
Truffaut does his best Sirk. A woman and her former flame find themselves neighbors in the French countryside, which complicates their marriages. It is all suitably overwrought, though perhaps not quite enough to make Douglas Sirk jealous.
