Criticism

" Resnais ' once confusing time-space cuts (, Last Year at Marienbad ') have given an elegant Bilderfluß; Detail, light nuances and virtuoso camera movements bring the intangible fears of the old class fighter delicately into the picture. Menacing revolutionary ' melodrama neutralized Yves Montand with skeptical eyes - eyes. The links troubadour of all is trying to be Humphrey Bogart, the best "

"Even in his fourth feature film by Frenchman Alain Resnais remains true to its most highly refined, complex stylistic principles, of course, gets caught in places, hard on the border of Mannerism. Nevertheless, a precious enjoyment of art, which also shines through political reality. From 18 to recommend. "

" The Portrait of acting against the Franco regime exiled Spaniard who is attacked during a brief stay in Paris of fatigue and doubt. Contemporary History and Personal mingling, looking the film is not political opinion, but an intellectually and aesthetically brilliant presentation of the revolutionary who is in conflict with reality.
