My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Man Who Loved Women (1977)

 François Truffau masterfully creates a truly special character in Morane, a man so infatuated with the opposite sex that he is willing to wreck his car to find out the identify of a woman with beautiful legs.  It would have been so easy for Morane to come across as a pervert or a stalker but in this light drama we have a likable eccentric with an honest passion and an open heart.   This is a wonderful, natural paced film that I think most of us can relate to.  I've never gone to the extremes Morane was willing to go but there were times in my youth I wish I had.  Grade: A
