Directed by François Truffaut • 1981 • France
Starring Gérard Depardieu, Fanny Ardant, Henri Garcin
François Truffaut puts a contemporary spin on the legend of Tristan and Isolde in this Hitchcockian study of guilt and romantic obsession. Happily married Bernard Coudray (Gérard Depardieu) finds his seemingly idyllic suburban existence upended when former lover Mathilde (Fanny Ardant)—also now married—happens to move in next door. Keeping their pasts hidden from their spouses, the pair resume their torrid, turbulent affair—reigniting an old flame that threatens to burn them both.

A man and a woman living next door to each other become too neighborly, as an old flame reignites. Problem is they are now both married to other people. Past meets present and the heat becomes too much to handle.
