...OUGHT TO BE WITH ME, Al Green. Ten in January. Green is a magician of sound, a brilliantly original songwriter and vocalist. His songs are fluid rather than traditionally structured; the 1972 hit, "Still in Love with You," was his best...

This new movie of Truffaut's is just such a revelation, a sly and loving tribute to the elaborate and inspiring chaos of film making-and Truffaut's funniest, shrewdest, most relaxed work in some time...
