Reviews
According to Positif , the film was “spurned by the audience and put down by the critics”. Leconte regretted: “This is a film that obviously almost nobody liked. It was judged to be superficial, while it dealt with superficiality. ”The film-dienst found:“ More interested in moods than in the plot, the atmospheric film with its idiosyncratic narrative rhythm creates a flair of elegant noblesse with a dash of morbidity and eroticism; but occasionally he gets lost in too much pathos and beauty.
