Two English Girls is a terrible movie, just like most of Truffaut's movies. I truly wish I had never burned the 15 movies of his that I had access to without first watching one or two. The plot follows Claude (Leaud) and two English girls (Markham, Tendeter) with whom he falls in love. Their love is instant and without explanation; it is less love and more melodrama and angst. I don't know what century this movie takes place in, but the movie plods along as if from a much slower era. The dialogue is stilted. It sounds better written than coming from the mouths of French and English actors who over-articulate as if they're learning new languages. An obtrusive and unnecessary narrator describes people's internal emotions instead of having them act it out, which also makes for an overly talky movie. The cinematography and editing are both poor. The colors range from far too dark to supersaturated; the film lingers on unrelated and unimportant shots like a stairwell or countryside landscapes. And there are a slew of unnecessary plot points that could have been excluded to make this movie shorter. (Or better yet, maybe Truffaut would have decided to exclude the whole thing and I wouldn't have had to sit through this movie at all! In fact, I wish that had happened for all of Truffaut's terrible movies.)IMDb link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066989/
