criticism
Janet Maslin wrote in the New York Times on April 22, 1983 that the title of the film about international terrorism and the world of fashion suggested "showmanship". Technically speaking, the film is the best work of the director, but he lacks the “urgency” of his earlier films. Maslin praised the presence of Nastassja Kinski, who appears “full of life” and “headstrong” in her role.
The London magazine TimeOut wrote that the film was an “eccentric melodrama” that “meanders” between the jet set of the fashion world and terrorist activities. Harvey Keitel does not convince in the role of the leader of the terror cell. The scriptwriter lacks the courage to take a closer look at the philosophical questions posed.
background
The film was shot in New York as well as in Paris and the surrounding area and on the premises of the University of Vermont .
