Synopsis

Scientist Bertrand Morane, "never in the company of men after 5," seduces women by evening and writes about the experiences in the early morning. Though 40ish and somewhat square, no woman in the town of Montpelier seems capable of resisting his earnest advances. What drives Morane from woman to woman, and what accounts for his remarkable success? Does he secretly dislike women and consider them interchangeable, or is his enthusiasm a kind of celebration? A film about the love relationships.

Critics' reviews

"Francois Truffaut's bittersweet 1977 comedy, about the pleasure and the pathos of sexual pursuit, is also an ode to the art of writing."

Richard Brody: The New Yorker
"Whatever the cause, 'The Man Who Loved Women' is suffering from an acute case of the insipids."

Gary Arnold: The Washington Post
"[A] swiftly paced, light-hearted exercise."

TV Guide
"A supremely humane, sophisticated comedy that is as much fun to watch for the variations Mr. Truffaut works on classic man-woman routines as for the routines themselves."

Vincent Canby: The New York Times
