Reviews
- Süddeutsche Zeitung , May 7, 1998: “Like the girl Nathalie, the beach in Trouville is just a chimera that you don't really get to see in the whole film. You only see the puzzle based on a picture that the romantic impressionist Boudin painted of the beach. It stands for the dream that everyone in this film dreams of, for the happiness in love that everyone is tinkering with. And just as randomly as you come across the missing pieces when laying a puzzle, so is the story of this film. "
- Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , May 7, 1998: “This feeling, which is closely related to nostalgia, may also have made 'Trouville Beach' a lot more reminiscent of the lightly moving comedies that François Truffaut shot in the sixties and seventies of the works of Besson and beinix, which mark the next stop in French cinema. (...) But anyone who wants to see how an imaginary nuclear power plant fuels love and how one can express the lifestyle of today's twenty to thirty-year-olds with the means of French cinema in the seventies, is in good hands with this film. Even if some eccentricities seem too polished. "
