The Bride Wore Black (1968)

Original title: La mariée était en noir

dir: François Truffaut

Julie Kohler (Jeanne Moreau) is introduced to us trying to commit suicide, only to be stopped by her mother (Luce Fabiole) before she jumps from her window. She is in black clothing and in obvious grief, but the reason is not yet revealed. Suddenly, Julie changes her attitude and informs her mother of her decision to take a long trip to forget. Yet, apparently, this is not what she has in mind, since she gets on the train in the presence of her young niece and then right afterwards steps down from the other side. From this point on it is clear that she has something else in mind.

Terrific Hitchcockian revenge thriller, right down to the magnificent Herrmann score. Tarantino claimed he hadn't seen this before making Kill Bill, but I don't see how that's possible. He cribbed almost as much stuff from here as he did from Lady Snowblood. The film is great at building tension, and Jeanne Moreau's stoic, determined bride is a great performance. Truffaut loads the proceedings with plenty of clever touches.
