Adapted from the diaries of Adèle Hugo, director François Truffaut weaves a haunting tale of unrequited love that drives a woman to destruction. Featuring an incredible, unforgettably powerful performance by Isabelle Adjani, beautiful cinematography by Nestor Almendros, and a stellar score by Maurice Jaubert.
