Summary: TRUFFAUT'S GIFT
Review: Only a director's with TRUFFAUT's sensibility could actually manage to make an interesting movie with a subject like this.BERTRAND MORANE, the character like his creator had plenty of women in his life.Read the biography written by ANTOINE De BAECQUE for details.This film can be considered as his last personnal film, even if it is not related to the DOINEL series.It is not surprizing that TRUFFAUT likes the voice off device which reached it's zenith with TWO ENGLISH GIRLS and SUCH A GEORGEOUS KID LIKE ME.His ironic nature almost commands such a device.THE MAN WHO LOVED WOMEN is a medium TRUFFAUT ,worth seeing as a funny explorations of his themes.You can actually see the director rapidly passing by at the beginning of the movie.I would have liked BRIGITTE FOSSEY's character more fully developped.To resume TRUFFAUT in a simple way,one can say that he often created strong women characters over weak men who are often survivors or victims.But nothing is never that simple...

Summary: I also love women.
Review: This is one of Truffaut's best films and it is an excellent exploration into the impulses that drive men to seek out a woman. The main character falls in love with any woman who catches his eye and in one case is so attracted to a pair of legs that he seeks out the woman with a very devious - but innocent - system that will ring true to many a romantic Casanova. the man is so obsessed by women - never in a bad way - that he decides to explore his feelings through a book. as he looks for the publisher he ends up finding t=yet another interest. the film, however, in no way presents women in a degrading way and is very thoughtful in its respect of women in fact. The main character could be compared to Casanova as he too loved and respected women. the film has a comedic tone and almost comes across as a personal documentary as the scientist narrates his feelings and motivations. The subject matter and its portrayal are still relevant today. excellent.
