At first, the love affair seems destined for greatness, as does their success at gambling. Relying on each other for luck, however, has its price.

The true star of this very French film is the dazzling visuals displayed inside the casino.

Varda has done a beautiful job of restoring the film's crisp, ruthless black-and-white imagery.

[Moreau's] Jackie Demaistre is a mesmerizing, compulsively watchable performance, one of the few films roles you literally hold your breath watching.

Demy's films are often described in terms of music; this one is more like a tango in which one person leads and refuses to forfeit the position.
