Reviews

  • Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times of September 30, 1983 that the large number of films about the 1960s (made in the early 1980s) was due to the fact that these filmmakers themselves had studied in the 1960s. The film was - technically speaking - well done, but in the end nothing was settled.
