The Soft Skin (La Peau douce) (1964) François Truffaut

September 27th 2022

[byneddiedingo]

Françoise Dorléac and Jean Desailly in The Soft Skin (François Truffaut, 1964)

Cast: Jean Desailly, Françoise Dorléac, Nelly Benedetti, Daniel Ceccaldi, Laurence Badie, Philippe Dumat, Sabine Haudepin. Screenplay: François Truffaut, Jean-Louis Richard. Cinematography: Raoul Coutard. Film editing: Claudine Bouché. Music: Georges Delerue.

Some film titles almost seem to invite critical snark: I'm sure I'm not the first to be tempted to say that The Soft Skin is "only skin deep." But that sums up my reaction to François Truffaut's film: Its characters aren't developed enough. According to Truffaut, the inspiration for the film was seeing a couple kissing in a taxicab and wondering if they were cheating on their respective spouses, which led to meditations on the topic of adultery. Truffaut was working on his book about Alfred Hitchcock at the time, and perhaps Hitchcock's own explorations in voyeurism turned Truffaut into a voyeur as well. The protagonist, Pierre Lachenay (Jean Desailly), is a celebrated intellectual, a writer and editor whose lectures draw admiring crowds and even bring news photographers out to greet his arrival and ask him to pose with the pretty flight attendant he has encountered on the plane. The flight attendant is Nicole (Françoise Dorléac), although the appropriate word for her job would have to be "stewardess," for the film takes place in a time when flight attendants were exclusively young and female, almost airborne geishas, whose job was to please the mostly male business travelers. Their supposed sexual availability was of course an illusion, but one exploited in gag lines like "Coffee, tea, or me?" and in soft- and hard-core porn films. It's also a subtext to the character played by Dorléac, who captures Lachenay's roving eye on a flight to and from Lisbon, where he gives a talk on Balzac. The development of their affair begins to take on the character of farce, especially when they try to get away from Lachenay's wife (Nelly Benedetti) for a few days under the cover of an introduction he is giving to a film about André Gide at a theater in Reims. Trying to hide their relationship is harder than they expect: Lachenay keeps encountering obstacles like unexpected dinner engagements and awkward hotel arrangements, and more especially an officious manager of the event who even winds up inviting himself on a ride to Paris with Lachenay, who has tried to cover up the fact that he's at another hotel with Nicole by saying that he has to return to the city that same evening. These scenes are mutedly funny: Their farcical character is tempered by Truffaut's skillful development of tension. Of course, the affair is doomed, but not before Mme. Lachenay learns of it, which leads to a ending marked by melodramatic violence. The whole film is an exhibition of Truffaut's skill; he plays with stretching and foreshortening time, with building suspense, with scenes that echo one another, and with subtle eroticism, all of it heightened by Raoul Coutard's exquisite black-and-white cinematography and Georges Delerue's score. But in Lachenay he hasn't given us a character who draws our sympathy, and his directing Desailly to maintain an inexpressive face allows us to wonder what, exactly, this beautiful young woman sees in this ordinary-looking middle-aged man. It's an often provocative film, but one that depends more on film technique than on engaging characters and effective storytelling, so it left me cold.

'The Soft Skin' – tragic romance from Truffaut on HBO Max and Criterion Channel

‘The Soft Skin’ – tragic romance from Truffaut on HBO Max and Criterion Channel

The Soft Skin (France, 1964), Francois Truffaut’s cool, creamy smooth story of a doomed affair, channels the director’s love of Hitchcock into a romantic melodrama. It isn’t a thriller in any traditional sense of the term but still evokes the master of suspense. Respected publisher and literary critic Pierre Lachenay (Jean Desailly) doesn’t have adultery on his mind when he becomes entranced…

Um Só Pecado (1964)

La peau douce

Direção: François Truffaut;

Roteiro: François Truffaut e Jean-Louis Richard;

Gênero: Drama; Romance;

País: França. 

“Eu aprendi que a infelicidade dos homens decorre da incapacidade de ficar em silêncio em seu próprio quarto”, é com essa frase que Pierre Lachenay (Jean Desailly), protagonista do filme e espécie de alter-ego de Truffaut, introduz uma palestra literária desenvolvida a partir da sua relação pessoal com o autor André Gide. A frase em questão funciona como uma espécie de síntese do mote do filme em que acompanhamos o retrato de um protagonista profundamente infeliz dissolvido entre a paixão avassaladora por uma aeromoça jovem e o fracasso de um casamento de quinze anos. É inevitável a tentativa de se estabelecer um paralelo entre a trajetória do protagonista e a biografia de François Truffaut, que há época da produção do filme estava se divorciando após ter cometido adultério com uma aeromoça mas jovem. A direção de Truffaut constrói um registro objetivo da trama, eximindo-se de qualquer justificativa ou condenação moral sobre as atitudes de Pierre (esta dimensão significativa foi, no entanto, suprimida pela péssima adaptação do título do filme para o português). 

Pierre Lachenay é um famoso autor e editor de livros de Paris que viaja à Portugal para apresentar seu mais recente lançamento literário, o livro Balzac et L’argent; no voo para Lisboa, nas asas da Panair do Brasil, ele conhece Nicole (Françoise Dorléac, a bela irmã de Catherine Deneuve, que morreria três amos depois num trágico acidente de carro aos 25 anos de idade), uma aeromoça por quem se apaixona perdidamente. O relacionamento adúltero, dividido entre a lascívia e a discrição na tentativa de manter intacta sua figura pública, culminará na desidentificação do protagonista. Aparentemente - mas de modo nenhum - simples, a trama descreve o retrato trágico de um sujeito dissolvido. Sobre uma cena especialmente dramática em que Pierre vai até a casa que fora sua para buscar seus pertences, pode ser estabelecida uma relação com a canção Trocando em Miúdos, de Chico Buarque e Francis Hime: “eu bato o portão, sem fazer alarde / eu levo a carteira de identidade / uma saideira, muita saudade / e a leve impressão de que já vou tarde”. 

⭐ 4.4 / 5.0

Classic Recordings from the Audience

Maybe it's easy to be blasé about recording music you've seen, when that smartphone in your pocket or your digital camera by your hip is beckoning, but it's easy to overlook the times, say, 60 or 70 years ago, when recording musical greats was no simple task. This Pitchfork compilation of audience recordings, of the likes of Ellington in Fargo, Charlie Parker at the Three Deuces and Monk & Trane at the Five Spot, by way of Jack Towers, Dean Benedetti and Naima Coltrane (or Nellie Monk) respectively, illustrates how, in their day, gold was spun from tin. (A gentle reminder: Mosaic's classic collection of Benedetti's recordings of Bird is still in stock.

La peau douce 

(1965) dir. François Truffaut

★★★★☆

La peau douce es una película de François Truffaut que explora temas sobre la sensualidad, el romanticismo y el dolor. Cuando Pierre (Jean Desailly) se enamora de la joven azafata Nicole (Françoise Dorléac), pone en riesgo su relación con su esposa e hija (Nelly Benedetti y Sabine Haudepin respectivamente) y comienza una batalla consigo mismo, generando una tensión que explota en los últimos minutos de la cinta. El filme es realmente excelente y podemos ver el gran valor artístico que le otorga el director simplemente al contrastar el título del filme con su tercer acto donde, spoiler alert, Franca asesina a su ex esposo en medio de un restaurante, donde él planeaba dejar sus errores atrás y seguir su vida con su esposa e hija. 

Aunque La peau douce se centra en la relación secreta y emocionante de Pierre y Nicole, debemos admitir que uno de los personajes más impresionantes y mejor escritos es Franca: aunque durante gran parte del filme no logramos ver su punto de vista ni sus pensamientos internos, creo que nos queda muy claro qué tipo de mujer es… hasta nos sentimos relacionados con ella cuando toma la decisión de quitarle la vida a Pierre. Sinceramente, le debemos un gran aplauso a Truffaut, puesto que logró escribir y dirigir una excelente película con personajes muy complejos que, de algún modo, hace que nos podamos relacionar con cada uno de ellos de forma realista y simpática, junto con imágenes preciosas, realmente impresionantes, realizadas por Raoul Coutard.
