If you loved The Story of Adèle H., try The Soft Skin

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 outsider, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Story of Adèle H., the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Soft Skin is

François Truffaut's film is a quietly complicated affair. Pierre Lachenay starts an affair with an air hostess. It predictably gets messy.
