- Synopsis
- The Story of Adele H. is a haunting film based on a true story about desire, devotion... and madness. Oscar-nominated Isabelle Adjani stars in this lush portrait of a woman whose obsessive passion sets the stage for one of the most romantic films of the decade. Adele, daughter of French author and patriot Victor Hugo, is beautiful, composed and filled with the same brilliant writing talent as her famous father. However, Adele is driven not by literary aspirations but by love. Impelled by a need that will not be denied, she has run away from home to follow her handsome, womanizing lover across an ocean to wintry Halifax, Nova Scotia. Wild with desire, she'll risk everything to renew their brief affair. And if she can't win him back, there'll be a terrible price to pay.

"Its intensity is impressive and remains uncompromised by the prettifying aesthetic touches Truffaut adds here and there in an apparent attempt to distance himself from the overcharged material."
