Don't read ANY comments if you haven't seen it yet.
OH God, François Truffaut summarized so perfectly the stages of ... well, "non correspondent love". It's obsessive, but above all is the love of a lost, fragile woman.
Rejection told step by step in its consequences, brilliantly.
And then there's Isabelle Adjani. WOW. WHAT A PERFORMANCE! She REALLY incorporates a psychologically instable Adele and deserved the recognition she got (NYFCCA, NBR, NSFCA and was robbed of a much deserving Oscar, but who can beat the "hurricane" One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest?)
See IT and feel IT. Remember that it is based on a true story: you won't forget Adele H. ,her complexity and her nobility soon.
