Reviews
The lexicon of international films found: “For the third time, Alan Rudolph presents a vicious circle, this time inspired by André Breton's research on the sexualité archives du surrealisme . The rather dialog-heavy ensemble film is captivating as sophisticated entertainment. "
Ken Eisner wrote in the trade journal Variety that the attempt to restore the libertine atmosphere in the circles of the European bohemian of the 1920s was only partially convincing, despite the good cast. The offered "chatter" is "tiresome"; the film contains linguistic anachronisms. Dermot Mulroney captivates in his role, and Neve Campbell, the music and the lighting were praised.
