Julien Davenne is a journalist whose wife Julie died a decade ago. He gathered in the green room all Julie’s objects.

“Eleven years after the end of World War I, in a small village in the East of France, the journalist Julien Davenne (François Truffaut) still grieves the death of his beloved wife Julie ten years ago. He worships Julie in a green room in his house decorated with her pictures and belongings. When he meets auctioneeru0026#39;s assistant Cecilia Mandel (Nathalie Baye) in an auction house, they see that they have in common the obsession for death and become close to each other. When a fire destroys his green room, Julien convinces the bishop to restore the local chapel and prepare it as a sanctuary for Julie and his dead friends to preserve their memories, while Cecilia falls in love for him, but Julien is dead inside.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;La Chambre Verteu0026quot; is the darkest of the Truffaultu0026#39;s movies that I have seen. The melancholic romance has a beautiful cinematography; has great performances with Truffault in the role of Julien Davenne, a man that writes obituaries in the dying newspaper Le Globe and most of his friends have already died, and the gorgeous Nathalie Baye as an old acquaintance that falls in love for him. But the story is extremely unpleasant and somber and I did not like it. My vote is six.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTitle (Brazil): u0026quot;O Quarto Verdeu0026quot; (u0026quot;The Green Roomu0026quot;)”
