 BBC - BBC Four Cinema - The Woman Next Door
One of François Truffaut's later, lesser-known films, The Woman Next Door pursues several themes that the esteemed French director favoured throughout his career, namely adultery, obsession, amour fou and the ever-thrilling crime passionnel.
Several years after the pair split from an intense and all-consuming relationship, they are reunited - by chance or by coincidence - in the provinces, as the newly married Mathilde moves into the house next door to Bernard, his wife Arlette and their young son.
As its title suggests, The Woman Next Door deals with well-worn character types (the jilted lover, the femme fatale and the lonely cuckold to name three).

 François Truffaut: Audacious Charmer
It's astonishing to realize, while re-experiencing the obsessive passions of "The Story of Adele H." and "The Woman Next Door," the delicate balance of "Two English Girls" or the literally haunting power of "The Green Room," that these were not among his widely acknowledged successes.
At opposite ends of his career came "The Soft Skin" (1964) and "The Woman Next Door," two films about extramarital love affairs that have life-or-death consequences, yet their attitudes could not be more different.
She notes that an encounter lending itself to melodrama, a lovers' quarrel at the end of which the woman faints, is deliberately staged in a dull cement parking garage with grocery bags as props.

Amanda, a school psychologist, finds herself in the middle of a tragedy at the same time she is struggling with her inability to conceive along with the continuing breakdown of her marriage to Graham.
Although The Woman Next Door dealt with the very modern subject of infertility and the treatment options for couples who cannot conceive, the method of storytelling felt dated - the suspicions of neighbors who live in a cul-de-sac reminded me of the 1980's series Knots Landing.
None of the characters in The Woman Next Door ever came to life for me. I felt I knew more about their homes and decoration, what they ate and where they worked rather than the characters themselves.

 [No title]
A narrative "steeped in alienation," The Woman Next Door is the story of a reclusive male tenant in a New York City apartment, whose life is disrupted by the arrival of a new next-door neighbor.
Spurred initially by simple curiosity, the tenant begins to anticipate and follow the woman's movements, eventually assuming the role of voyeur.
Seen entirely from the tenant's point-of-view, this is a bleak narrative of anonymity, isolation, and expectation.

 Amazon.ca: The Fat Woman Next Door Is Pregnant: Books: Michel Tremblay,Sheila Fischman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
The Fat Woman Next Door Is Pregnant, the first volume of Michel Tremblay's immense Chroniques du plateau Mont-Royal, finds him abandoning much of the bleakness and anger that sustain his plays in favour of a more benevolent mode of storytelling.
The Fat Woman Next Door Is Pregnant will be immediately recognizable to followers of Tremblay's plays, in which many of the same characters and stories appear.
Every character, from the tomcat Duplessis to the foul-mouthed but impeccably skilful streetcar driver Mastaï Jodoin, to the three knitting Graces on the porch next door (who are only visible to cats and crazy people), is rendered with great compassion and understanding.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Barbara Delinsky - Woman Next Door: A Novel at Epinions.com
In "The Woman Next Door", the Cul-De-Sac is the new Red Light District, I guess.
But, to her credit, her writing developed; she dropped the fake names she was writing under; she started making the bestseller lists, got an exclusive contract with Simon and Schuster, and is now such a hot shot author that she has the legendary Simon and Schuster literary editor Michael Korda doing her editing.
"The Woman Next Door" is simply a trashy story that tells about the goings-on in ONE cul-de-sac without making the reader contemplate the universal themes of middle-class decadence and suburban-upper middle class values in general.

 THE ROMANCE READER reviews: The Woman Next Door by Barbara Delinsky
With one exception, she has not failed me. I assume that authors choose to move away from the romance genre because of their ability to write books that do not center so completely on the love story and thus permit them to explore important issues more fully.
In The Woman Next Door, Delinsky’s issue is infertility and the impact of the contemporary technologies that allow couples to achieve that oh-so-desired child.
The Woman Next Door is the kind of “women’s fiction” that I enjoy.

It was also his first collaboration with Fanny Ardant, who would become his favored leading lady for the last phase of his career and offscreen love for the last years of his life.
Bernard Coudray (Gerard Deparidieu) is a happily married man living in the village of Grenoble; his life is knocked askew when Philippe and Mathilde Bauchard move in next door, and Mathilde (Ardant) proves to be Bernard's long-ago lover.
Poorly received by critics who had written off Truffaut as irrelevant, The Woman Next Door is very much the work of the man who made Jules and Jim, Mississippi Mermaid, and Two English Girls.

 dOc DVD Review: The Woman Next Door (La Femme d'à côté) (1981)
The Woman Next Door, completed the year after The Last Metro won Truffaut 10 Cesar awards, tells the story of two lovers seemingly entwined by fate.
Bernard (Depardieu) and Mathilde (Ardant) shared a tumultuous affair years ago; now, both are married, he to a child, and she to an older man. When Mathilde and her husband move next door to Bernard, however, old passions reawaken and the two quickly find themselves in the middle of a relationship they'd hoped forgotten.
Ardant especially is almost haunting in her ability to use nuance, small movements, and subtle expression to create a character of such realism that defies any overdone elements of the story.

All of his lovers are doomed by the demons of their passion, and by underlying streaks of violence (in his serious films) and frivolous inability to make a commitment (in his comedies).
Truffaut is on record as one of the greatest admirers of Alfred Hitchcock, and THE WOMAN NEXT DOOR is a profoundly Hitchcockian film, in that its real subjects are guilt, passion and terrible consequences of a sin that starts out small.
The superb logic of the last scene is all the more effective because, gee, we didn't know that was how she felt É but, of course, we did.

I was able to research the area last June after my husband and I attended a wedding in Essex, a charming village on the southern coast of the state.
The story takes place around a four-house cul-de-sac and, in a nutshell, tells what happens when a young widow turns up pregnant and the most likely suspects are the husbands of her three neighbors.
Specifically, it tackles the extended family that a man and a woman bring to a marriage, and the tension that in-laws can cause.
