TimD-LApr 27, 20058A lovely character-driven ensemble piece that generates atmosphere and a sense of place as the story moves steadily along. Not for those seeking a Hollywood-style action movie.

80French director Michel Deville has managed to preserve the work's great virtues--the intimacy, discretion, grace, and humor with which it speaks of both irredeemable disaster and the taste for life that survives it.
