Les Mauvais Coups (French pronunciation: [le movɛ ku]; Naked Autumn) is a 1961 French psychological drama under the direction of François Leterrier. It tells the story of the tragic demise of a 10-year marriage. The austere screenplay is based on a Roger Vailland novel.
Though by no means a nouvelle vague style work, the opening credits over a dismal landscape with ominous music have a Chabrolesque touch. It was the first film directed by Leterrier, best known for his leading role in A Man Escaped, the 1956 movie by Robert Bresson.
