Adapting another partly autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roché (Jules et Jim), Truffaut adopts a detached, delicate tone in treating the troubled ménage-à-trois that develops between a young French writer (Léaud) and two English sisters in the early 1900s. A subtle, poignant, incisive study of feelings about feelings, where desire is frequently overridden by a determination not to hurt others.
