Victor Hugo’s daughter Adèle is the subject of this French historical drama, directed by François Truffaut. A portrait of obsession and madness taken from her own diaries, the film describes how Adèle’s obsessive, unrequited love for a military officer leads to her downfall. (1975, dir. François Truffaut, 110 min., 35mm)
