SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like The Soft Skin, this coolly observed French drama turns attraction into an increasingly uneasy emotional arrangement, with elegant surfaces, restrained performances, and a quietly accumulating sense of danger.
02
Why this pick
Its precise Parisian realism and intimate focus on a man adrift echo Truffaut’s unsentimental emotional scrutiny, though its mood is more overtly melancholy and existential.
03
Why this pick
Rohmer shares Truffaut’s interest in romantic self-deception: measured conversations, chance encounters, and small moral choices gradually expose the gap between desire and self-image.
04
Why this pick
For the same mid-1960s French sophistication and emotionally cautious adult romance, this offers an intimate, visually graceful study of people drawn together while carrying difficult private histories.
05
Why this pick
This is another unsparing account of bourgeois routine disrupted by desire, balancing sensual immediacy with an observant, understated view of the consequences of acting on impulse.

01 / THE STORY
Pierre Lachenay (Jean Desailly), a well-known writer and editor of a literary magazine, is running late for his flight to Lisbon. His friend gives him a ride to the airport, with his daughter Sabine going along for the ride, and they arrive just in time. On the airplane he makes eye contact with a beautiful air hostess named Nicole (Françoise Dorléac). Upon landing, he is greeted by photographers who ask that he pose with the air hostess.
