What is The Woman Next Door about?
Two ex-lovers wind up living next door to each other with their respective spouses. Forbidden passions ensue.
The Woman Next Door is a 1981 French romantic drama film directed by François Truffaut. Reminiscent of the medieval legend of Tristan and Iseult but set among young middle-class people in a provincial city, it tells the story of a fatal romance between a loving husband and the attractive woman who moves in next door. Truffaut's penultimate film, being followed by the more light-hearted Vivement dimanche!, it was the 39th highest-grossing film of the year, with a total of 1,087,600 admissions in France.
