If you loved The Soft Skin, try The Woman Next Door
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by François Truffaut, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Soft Skin, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Woman Next Door 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.
