With these two actors, it is surprising that they play a bit naive and losers.
The story is about a scammed loser that falls for the scammer, after he discovers that the scammer was herself scammed. They become enamored with each other but keep falling into worse and worse conditions because of their own faults. It degenerates as much as it can possibly be but they keep hanging to each other. Even the ending is a bit of a shocker and plays counter-intuitively.
We keep guessing how this story would develop. Truffaut manage to have us believe this is possible and that two losers could actually love each other no matter how they connected and how bad their behaviors can be.
