The Woman Next Door

Synopsis

A happily married manager living in a quiet Grenoble suburb is stunned when a new married couple moves into the adjoining house, discovering the wife is his former lover with whom he shared an all-consuming, destructive affair eight years earlier, reigniting a clandestine erotic obsession that escalates to public breakdown and murder-suicide: 'Neither with you nor without you.' François Truffaut's intense, fatalistic romantic tragedy starring Gérard Depardieu and Fanny Ardant in her breakthrough role.
