(aka "The Man Who Loved Women" )

France 1977

"The Man Who Loved Women" by Francois Truffaut is the critically acclaimed film released in Europe in 1977 that is a comedy/adult drama that teaches quite an interesting lesson about men and women. Specifically the obsession of sex and carnal pleasure without the input of love, respect and commitment.

Bertrand Morane (Charles Denner), is a man who loves every woman he meets, literally. You can basically call him a leech, and sex addict, because he has never loved any women he has slept with. However in some cases the man tries to develop a relationship with these woman and it's the women and not him that are problem. One woman comes to mind. Delphine is a paranoid sex slut who likes to have sex in dangerous places for the thrills of it. She reminds of the type of woman I briefly have met and or even the schizophrenic "kitty", bondage like women who have rated my reviews (You know who you are). Later on we learn that she does it to spite her husband. Morane at first thinks Delphine likes him, but being a grown man and being smart enough to realize when he is being played for the fool, he soon realizes she is just using him. She is just a piece of trash that he had the pleasure and displeasure to be with. In a way this incident describes the problems for Morane, sometimes he meets really nice women who are afraid of commitment but like the sex (does feeding Morane's appetite for more sex without love), and other times he meets these nasty, gutter trash, unfeeling, abusive and self paranoid women wholl screw him in the end. Quite a sad story, and it gets sadder and at times funnier throughout. The flight attendant encounter he has is a pretty memorable fling, one those flings where Morane and his mate have fun, and both come away happy with their short term encounter.

Comments

The PAL edition appears to have the slightly superior image quality, but is darker, although skin tones look decidedly too red. I see some minor contrast boosting in the NTSC version. The PAL edition also has more subtitle and DUB options and an extra (trailer) that the Region 1 doesn't have. The PAL has some minimal cropping on the two side edges. It's a tough call on image - more to whatever your preference is (or whatever you can overlook). Personally, I can't stand contrast boosting so would go for the PAL (and get the trailer option as well).
