Truffaut's black comedy telling the spicy story of sexually promiscuous Camille Bliss under the sociology lenses!!
26 May 2023
It was the François Truffaut's 12th movie and somehow it's off patten of the director, a black comedy built in sexual overtones scattered along the story, he starts this project after the flop in box-office and critics of "Les Deux Anglaises et le Continent" a dramatic story, then make sense the change.

The recently graduated sociologist Stanislas Prévine (André Dussollier) must make his thesis over criminal women, he starting hear the multi-colored story of Camille Bliss (Bernadette Lafont) a kind of girl sexually promiscuous, she re-telling her unusual story by flashbacks since tender age when unintentionally was a cause of her drunkard father, henceforth the young Camille was raised in a penal institution for underage people, she grow up there and managing to escaping stealthily and aftermaths getting married with Clovis (Philippe Léotard), having many affairs thereafter with a singer Sam Golden (Guy Marchant), a crook lawyer Marchal (Michel Delahaye) and finally the straitlacer pest-terminator Arthur (Charles Denner) ends up imprisoned by a murdered the last one.

The naïve and blind Stanislas even has a gorgeous applicant Hélène (Anne Kreis) at his feet end up falling in love by the scheming Camille, apart some oddities on the lame screenplay the picture is resourceful and pleasant to watch, also the eye-candy Bernadette Lafont was so generous in countless sexy sequences with her undeniable sex-appeal letting us gaping, Truffaut extracts the high-octane of both elements at your hands the spicy story on black humor oriented, quite sure it deserves respect quite.

Thanks for reading.
