The Soft Skin

A directorial triumph, each scene carefully thought out and crafted with Hitchcockian meticulousness. Truffaut proves (yet again) his artistic inventiveness in this strong erotic drama.

Synopsis

A well-known writer and literary magazine contributor is on a plane to Portugal, where he encounters a beautiful air hostess. When they coincidentally meet again at the hotel they are staying at, an amorous relationship begins, even though he is married. The couple meets secretly as often as possible, but the author's wife suspects something is amiss.
