While this latter day Truffaut film is not among his very best (400 Blows, Jules & Jim, etc.), it's still a well made
film with solid performances by young Depardieu & Ardant. It takes good use of its rural French setting and contains another beautiful soundtrack from Georges Delerue. The characters remain a bit distant, but it's still another solid entry in Truffaut's filmography.

Nice enough effort from Truffaut, even as there's nothing particularly earth-shattering about it. Troubling to find out this is your father's favorite film, though.
