Reviews
"Despite a thrilling atmosphere and an accurate figure drawing of the film at the indecisive vacillation between the romantic transfiguration of love as archaic social conventions canceling power and sounding out their social and economic conditionality suffers. "

" Director Catherine Corsini exhausted in the affair really out every cliché. Since [ ...] [ help ] neither the solid work of cinematographer Agnès Godard nor reliably active performer Trio: Corsinis staging acts so worn, so thousands of times played as the collaged from Truffaut films orchestral soundtrack.
