The Man Who Loved Women

This remake of François Truffaut’s 1977 comedy misses out on Truffaut’s subtext that delves into the nature of love and instead simply recounts the sexual and romantic exploits of David, a sculptor who is an incurable womanizer (Burt Reynolds). In order to come to grips with his obsession for women, David goes to see a psychiatrist, Marianna (Julie Andrews), and sure enough, she later joins him on the couch. His tale is told by Marianna, as flashbacks reveal their relationship and other loves of David’s life, most notably Louise (Kim Basinger), a married woman hooked on intimacy in odd, if not dangerous, places. In all these relationships, David is as much attracted to the women as they are to him. Unfortunately, with flat dialogue and uninspired comedy, David fares better than the film as a whole., Burt Reynolds plays a sculptor with a womanising problem. Through his psychiatrist, he retells his stories of romantic exploits with women., A psychiatrist recounts the many colorful escapades of an incurable womanizer who was once her patient turned lover. Remake of the 1977 French film of the same name., Light romantic comedy about a Hollywood-based sculptor who finally takes his obsession with the fairer sex to a psychiatrist – only to find that she too is a woman.
