Reviews
"Detached staged crime, provincial and love story, which engages in a profound confusion about lies and truth, but also conjures up the power of love. Above all, the excellently managed, intensely acting actors and many references to Chabrol's earlier 'cinematic' settlements with the bourgeoisie make the 50th film by the 'Nouvelle Vague' co-founder a not only intellectual pleasure. ”
