Citizen Kane, except it's French and Charles Foster Kane is a womanizer who unsuccessfully tries to find romantic endeavors to fill a hole in his life, and negative emotions that can be traced back to childhood.
The Man Who Loved Women does live up to its title, being about one guy who doesn't really do anything but pursue women. There's naturally a lot of repetition to the film, but it wraps up well, and I think it was balanced enough that it never came across as too mean-spirited or like something that's aged poorly.
While I would like to rank the films of Francois Truffaut one day, I think it might be difficult, because there aren't many I dislike but there also aren't too many that I genuinely love. He knocks 7/10s and 7.5/10s out of the park consistently; perhaps more so than any other filmmaker.
