Reviews
“In“ Sweetheart ”there is pensiveness in the movements of the actors, an attitude that is otherwise only found in musicals. That may be because the main roles are played by Jacques Dutronc and Patrick Bruel, whose fame is mainly based on their singing skills. Melancholy and almost dreamy they move through this film, amusement and despondency always close together. They are all sad robbers and gendarmes, and it can very well happen that these men lean their foreheads against one another in moments of weakness - like children, like lovers. "Toutes peines confondues" is the original name of the film: Depending on the reading, all pains are fused, confused, confused, blurred. Life just doesn't stick to the rules of the game. "
