A good movie

If I'm not mistaken, it is the last movie directed by François Truffaut that I have seen (I realize now I really have to check his other movies...). Coincidentally, this movie was Truffaut's last one and he died a year later of a brain humor. Such a great loss for the film world as he was definitely one of the best French directors that even lived. Anyway, even though his last directing effort was not one of his best, I still think it was pretty good. Indeed, it is an entertaining black and white detective feature which was obviously a tribute to Alfred Hitchcock's work. Truffaut was an expert on Hitchcock and a great admirer of his work throughout his career so it was actually interesting that he would end his career with a movie inspired by his mentor. So, I really enjoyed the directing and the cast was pretty good as well (Fanny Ardant, Jean-Louis Trintignant). I have to admit it, if you compare this to the great thrillers made by Hitchcock, it is not that amazig but I thought it was entertaining enough. To conclude, it is a pretty good flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
