Truffau in the New Wave movies is definitely an alien. He not only has a special liking for Hollywood movies, especially Hitchcock’s suspense films, but he also participated in Hollywood movies as an actor for Spielberg, in the mid- to late-stage films. Lu Shu is obviously incompatible with his colleague Godard. "La Peau Douce" is obviously not Truffaut's best film, but it has established Truffaut's typical style of "emotional entanglement suspense film". It can be said that his later style characteristics have emerged in this film—— On the one hand, it is the meticulous depiction of emotions in European films, on the other hand, it is the worship of the Kirk-style suspense film of West End.
Truffaut showed in the movie that he has a very accurate and subtle grasp of the emotions of the characters. A clichéd extramarital love story was performed very neatly by the master. It was quite restrained in showing the love between Leni and Nicol, and constitutes an extreme ending. In stark contrast, the so-called love at first sight for the beautiful Nicol and the final death Huang Quan is more like a sarcasm of Leni’s uneasy status quo. Some small details in the movie are very cute and a little restrained, such as Nicol. When Leni was not paying attention, he sneaked away from the car. It was because of his words: "You will be more suitable to wear a skirt", so he changed quickly; and Leni wrote a nasty letter to Nicol, which happened to be When I met her again, I rubbed the letter in my hand and threw it away. It turns out that illegal love is so interesting that it is so touching. All deception and betrayal are only for the satisfaction of desires, and are the price of impulse.
The darkness revealed in the film and the extremely hearty violent ending may be related to the growing conflict between Truffau and his wife at the time, because it was during the filming period that his first marriage was at a turning point.
