The unassuming Jean Desailly (Le doulos) is perfectly cast as a celebrated literary scholar, seemingly happily married, who embarks on an affair with a gorgeous stewardess, played by Francoise Dorleac (The Young Girls of Rochefort), who is captivated by his charm and reputation. As their romance gets serious, the film grows anxious, leading to a wallop of a conclusion. Truffaut made The Soft Skin at a time when he was immersing himself in the work of Alfred Hitchcock, and that master's influence can be felt throughout this complex, insightful, under seen French New Wave treasure.

It is instead one of those films slowly growing on you, while, becoming more and more affecting, beautifully photographed in black and white, and truly moving, thanks also to a solid, and, extremely seriously well written, highly modern script. It should also be considered, and remembered, that "The Soft Skin" still lives so wonderfully intense, thanks also to the extraordinary, touchingly realistic performances of its leads, Jean Desailly, and, especially from the wonderful, tragic, and late Francoise Dorleac, always a memorable, and truly magnificent presence in Films, and, a great looking young woman to watch over and over, actually in all of her movies shot throughout her unfortunately way too brief career (she died suddenly at only 26 in a horrible car crash over the coast of the French Riviera, while trying to hurry to Paris, in order to make a flight, that was supposed to taking her to London to complete some final work on Ken Russell's Cold War's visionary thriller "Billion Dollar Brain" opposite Michael Caine, and, a great International cast, released in 1968). Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Substitute French dialog with classical music. *by P***K on Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2012* To start off with I do not know much about French cinema, and I purchased this film because it is one of the very few films to own that has Francoise Dorleac in it. After watching her performance in this film over and over again, it makes me miss the films that she would have done. Over all, knowing her fate does make me feel sad, and the film is a sad story as well. But I must admit I get lost in her each time I watch it. I had the DVD playing the other day, and also had some Erik Satie on the stereo at the same time, and the TRIOS GYMNOPEDIES (1,2,3), came on, and these three short pieces really fit the action and feel of the film to a tee, in my opinion. I had the French dialog turned down, and pressed repeat for the three pieces of music to play over and over, and well, something came over me that was different from the regular viewing experience. Just to let you know , if you go to youtube and enter Francoise Dorleac, there are numerous photo montages of her set to a piece of music. most of her photos are quite stunning, plus there is also a POP SONG live video by her singing "MARIO J`Ai MAL" to experience. A year ago I did`nt even know who she was, and now I miss her terribly. My objectivity is gone, sorry to say. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Visual celebration of tragically lost actress, Francoise Dorleac! *by V***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2014* Francoise Dorleac, older sister of Catherine Deneuve, died in a tragic accident at age 25 but, luckily for us, Francois Truffaut had chosen to celebrate her beauty and talent in this film. His expertise with Black and White in collaboration with his cinematographer, Raoul Coutard, is amazing. The supporting actors are also excellent and cast appropriately for their roles but Dorleac is given the best serious role of her career in this drama. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/14165113-the-soft-skin](https://www.desertcart.in/products/14165113-the-soft-skin) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
