Subtle story with great depth, 20 April 2003
8/10
Author: Dahoyan from Finland

One could imagine that non-stop dialog and fixed camera angles waste the possibilities offered by cinema. Rohmer proves otherwise. There is no music and close-ups are rare, but there is power and depth in the characters and events. It's shame that the movie is very formulated and stable. By breaking it's own rules to create little excitement would have made it a masterpiece. Rating 7/10.
