criticism

“In long, often uncut image sequences, the camera observes the arguments of the quarreling couple, which are interrupted and commented on by images from a theater rehearsal for Racine's 'Andromaque'. The mesh of fiction and reality in this improvised film results in a very intimate, very intelligent journal about the relationships between art and life. "

“French film about the interrelationship between an artistic creation process and the simultaneous breakup of a marriage. Despite some weaknesses a differentiated and interesting panorama of the soul. "
