A Gorgeous Girl Like Me

Truffaut shows his flair for comedy in this darkly comic tale of a young sociologist, Stanislas, writing a thesis on criminal women. He is led through the story of Camille Bliss, a renowned felon, who is suspected of killing several people, including her lover, father and mother-in-law.

Bernadette Lafont is pure energy in the role of the ultimate femme fatale while André Dussollier, a future regular of Alain Resnais, plays her bookish prey perfectly.
