      walter m In "La Truite," Galuchat(Jacques Spiesser) and his wife Frederique(Isabelle Huppert) are together in a marriage of convenience. He is gay. She is asexual. So while they do not have much, they make the most of their time together. On one such outing at a bowling alley(love that aquarium), they meet a party that includes the financiers Rambert(Jean-Pierre Cassel) and St. Genis(Daniel Olbrychski). While Rambert's wife, Lou(Jeanne Moreau), worries about some of her husband's business dealings, St. Genis invites Frederique along to Japan with him on a business trip. "La Truite" is a moderately intriguing movie, about as one character puts it, finding one's place in the world. Sadly, the pop synth music is not the only thing that dates this movie, as there are also the attitudes of the time, with the movie needlessly going for a psychological explanation in flashbacks that at first are hard to tell from the present action. In any case, the need for money never goes out of style. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member In another movie, Frederique, the central character, would be a free spirit moving through and altering everyone else's life. Here, she does all that, but even she isn't free. The movie is a commentary on the restlessness at the core of life. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Low-key but intelligent drama by Losey with some fine acting - in particular from Jeanne Moreau in a supporting role. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Isabelle's performance - fast and smart like quicksilver! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      David Denby New York Magazine/Vulture La Truite is Losey's most chic and empty film yet. Jan 1, 2020 Full Review Elliott Stein Film Comment Magazine La Truite, Joseph Losey's best film in a decade, is a plum pudding for auteurists. Rated: 3/4 Dec 12, 2017 Full Review Bob Baker Time Out Losey's penultimate film is one of his most assured, depicting with unusual objectivity the impact of a type of personality met with in life from time to time, but not often in the movies. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A bleak romantic comedy that chronicles the life of cold fish Isabelle Huppert. Rated: B- Oct 4, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 17, 2005 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Vapid to the point where it's hard to really care.
