Trintignant's next film, "Défense de savoir", was released in 1973, followed by "Le Voyage de noces" in 1976. In the 1980s she wrote and directed many films focusing on relationships through a feminist lens, such as "Premier Voyage" (1980), "L'été prochain" (1985), and "La maison de Jade" (1988), despite the fact that according to critics such as Nina Darnton of "The New York Times", the "fire of the women's liberation movement no longer fanned to so bright a flame" by then.
