THE SOFT SKIN

Official screening

  • friday, 30 august 2024
Sala Corinto
11:00
La peau douce
by François Truffaut

(1964, France, 117')

Restoration mk2 Films

The soft skin describes with a very tight editing a bourgeois adultery, all lies and fear, with a tragic conclusion (much criticized, but taken from a real story). Pierre Lachenay, a famous intellectual, is fascinated by a young stewardess but terrified of being caught out. Weak in character and clumsy in subterfuge (a gaffeur, said Truffaut).
