Movie Reviews of The Man Who Loved Women
Movie Review: TRUFFAUT'S GIFT
Summary: 4 Stars
Only a director's with TRUFFAUT's sensibility could actually manage to make an interesting movie with a subject like this.BERTRAND MORANE, the character like his creator had plenty of women in his life.Read the biography written by ANTOINE De BAECQUE for details.This film can be considered as his last personnal film, even if it is not related to the DOINEL series.It is not surprizing that TRUFFAUT likes the voice off device which reached it's zenith with TWO ENGLISH GIRLS and SUCH A GEORGEOUS KID LIKE ME.His ironic nature almost commands such a device.THE MAN WHO LOVED WOMEN is a medium TRUFFAUT ,worth seeing as a funny explorations of his themes.You can actually see the director rapidly passing by at the beginning of the movie.I would have liked BRIGITTE FOSSEY's character more fully developped.To resume TRUFFAUT in a simple way,one can say that he often created strong women characters over weak men who are often survivors or victims.But nothing is never that simple...Movie Review: A Beguiling Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Bertrand Morane (Charles Denner) in Francois Truffaut's "The Man Who Loved Women" wants every woman he sees and usually gets and beds them and then writes a book about his conquests. And that's most of what happens in this amusing film by one of the great film directors. Morane is likeable and perhaps lovable and certainly is never cruel to the women he meets. He just is determined to continue making notches on his gun. There is some indication that he was hurt when Vera (Leslie Caron) broke up with him four, five years ago although we are never completely sure-- at least I wasn't-- as to why he seeks quantity over quality. Certainly, however, the women he gets involved with, if just for a night, are for the most part lookers.
The movie is beautifully filmed as we see frame after frame of women's gorgeous legs for Morane sees them everywhere. Both the beginning and ending are quite brilliant.
A pleasant way to spent two hours of your life.
Movie Review: A philanderer in France
Summary: 4 Stars
The adventures of a womanizer in France. There are many interesting elements here, some too subtle, about human nature. How women fall for him so quickly. When he asks them something it's like his life depended on it, and they can't refuse. They love to be desired with such intensity, however short that relation will last. And he goes from one to another; every woman has something different that no other woman has, and he wants them all. He can't settle with one.
It's all very funny, but at the same time it makes one think of a great void that nothing and nobody can fill. It may be women, or anything else; but there is never enough of it to fill that void.
The film is a bit too long (2 hours,) and has its ups and downs, but overall is a good entertainment.
