Movie Reviews of Confidentially Yours
Movie Review: Confidentially Yours
Summary: 5 Stars
Part screwball love story, part Hitchcockian detective thriller, "Yours" finds the leggy, buoyant Ardant, Truffaut's real-life muse and partner, playing sleuth on behalf of the man she secretly loves, and landing in a seedy, menacing world of organized crime and prostitution. Photographed in gorgeous, faux-`40s black-and-white, "Confidentially Yours" is an elegant, well-crafted noir brimming with Truffaut's signature sprightliness and romantic joie de vivre. Sadly, this was the great French director's final love letter to the cinema.
Summary of Confidentially Yours
François Truffaut's last film is both a homage and a lark. Without the brooding poutiness it's a homage to Alfred Hitchcock, and it's possible to watch this film just for the parallels or outright hat-tipping that goes on. It's the story of an older, hapless real-estate agent, Vercel (Jean-Louis Trintignant), under suspicion for a ruthless murder. Since this is a black-and-white, subtitled French film, the agent's voluptuous, intelligent secretary (a sharp and sexy Fanny Ardant) is hopelessly in love with him. While he hides out in the back office, she tries to get to the bottom of the crime; this is not so much a whodunit as a cinematic treat about the conventions and setups of film noir. Under the beautiful cinematography of Néstor Almendros, this is a film rainy Sunday afternoons were made for. --Keith SimantonArt House & International DVD Video
