Jeanne Moreau's temperament is not suitable for playing a good wife and mother. At first glance, she is full of rebellious spirit or someone who is difficult to deal with (in "The Elevator to the Gallows" she played the wife who colluded with her lover to murder her husband, in "Contempt" "The Wife Despising Her Husband"), and sure enough, Catherine in this film (similar to Catherine in Wuthering Heights, and reminiscent of Nastasya in Dostoevsky's "Idiot") combines Zu with Occupy's life is messed up. Truffaut captures the very real state of love, that is, what Catherine calls "full love only exists for a moment". The story of one woman and three (or even more) men is also a frequent match in Rohmer's films, such as "The Collector" and "Winter's Tale", but Rohmer is not as profound as Truffaut, with more maintaining romance, not The relaxed bystander feeling of intervening.
The soundtrack seems to have also appeared in "Four Hundred Strikes". Catherine sings songs comparable to Cleo's sans toi in "Cleo from Five to Seven" (the new wave has discovered a lot of good actresses).
In terms of lenses, several stop-motion shots of Katherine are beautiful. Truffaut used some slideshow animation-like shots, which are relatively new.
