Die in tenderness

Do men have nothing to do but show mercy everywhere? Especially those mature men who are successful in their careers and have affair "capital"? Of course Truffaut is not as superficial as I am. The film "Soft Skin", a standard Truffau style emotional suspense film, tells the story of a well-known publisher whose marriage and family were destroyed due to an affair. Men are always happy to find new emotional impulses. The so-called "give me a little fresh stimulation, make me forget time and myself." And women, in fact, can't stand the temptation of feelings. After all, people always feel too lonely. As long as uncontrollable desires follow, neither love nor unlove can get rid of sorrow. The plot of the love triangle in "Soft Skin" is very clichéd, but Truffaut’s display and discussion of the tireless human “deviant” relationship between the sexes, as well as the wonderful and subtle performances of the heroes and heroines, are worth seeing.

I can't help but want to compare it to Rohmer's Afternoon Love. Both are about middle-class marriage tragedies. Although Truffaut's ending is more tragic, isn't Rohmer's aggrieved marriage even more touching? And Rohmer's men are more pathetic and women more promiscuous, less predictable than Truffaut's, which is more modern than Truffaut's performance of a man in a romantic encounter and a woman in marital crisis.

The emotional impulses and trade-offs are too delicate and subtle to be portrayed, and only the sudden death at the end can play a balancing role.
