THE SOFT SKIN by François Truffaut
Film
Part of the Sunday Print Edition Series. 35mm movies in Black and White, every Sunday at 1:00 PM at the Los Feliz 3.
The unassuming Jean Desailly is perfectly cast as a celebrated literary scholar, seemingly happily married, who embarks on an affair with a gorgeous stewardess, played by Françoise Dorléac, who is captivated by his charm and reputation. As their romance gets serious, the film grows anxious, leading to a wallop of a conclusion.
