British distributors Artificial Eye have informed us that in Q4 they will add to their catalog two more films directed by Francois Truffaut:
The Woman Next Door (1981) and
Finally Sunday a.k.a.
Confidentially Yours (1983). The two releases are set to arrive on the UK market on October 13th.
Finally Sunday
Francois Truffaut's final film is comedy thriller with a Hitchcockian theme. Shot in the style of a classic American thriller - in crisp black and white - a company boss is accused of murdering his wife and her lover, and the evidence seems to support this. Whilst he is hiding from the police, his secretary takes on the role of detective and she uncovers illicit love affairs, prostitution rings and skeletons in everyone's closets before she uncovers the real culprit.
The Woman Next Door
The ghost of a tempestuous affair is reawakened when the two lovers, estranged for 10 years and now both newly married, coincidentally move next door to each other. Francois Truffaut wrote the leading roles especially for his two stars, Gerard Depardieu and Fanny Ardant. Bernard Coudray has a beautiful family and is happy with his life. That is untill Phillipe and Mathilde Bauchard move in to the house next door. Bernard and Mathilde know each other, they were once passionately in love but went their separate ways. Once reunited, the pair start a fervent but turbulant affair. Torn between their unyielding lust for each other and the comfort and stability that is their marriages, this really is a case of can't live with and can't live without.
