action
The film shows the last years of Alexandre Stavisky's life and the political effects of the Stavisky affair that he triggered.
criticism
"Nevertheless, Resnais will probably do more cinema than politics with Stavisky:" The mood, "he says," reminds of Lubitsch. ""
"Meanwhile, despite its mystifications," Stavisky "is one of the most rewarding films I've seen this year — and also one of the most intelligent."
“The death dream of an epoch is designed in a sophisticated, cool aesthetic that celebrates its own end. Despite the spectacular subject matter, a demanding work of complex structure and controlled stylization. "
Awards
Charles Boyer received the 1974 New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Supporting Actor .
The film ran at the Cannes International Film Festival in 1974 in the competition for the Palme d'Or . The film, which was received rather cautiously by critics and audiences at the festival, was shown again at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival as part of a gala evening for Jean-Paul Belmondo .
