"La versione al femminile di 'Jules e Jim' vede Truffaut impegnato a costruire un appassionato melodramma in costume la cui efficacia neppure i difetti riescono a smorzare.

Eventually, it was not really the most accessible movie directed by the French master but I really liked the mood and there was definitely something quite mesmerizing about it.
