Zonca's lyrical cinema verite style magnifies the small tensions and flare-ups that can blow apart a friendship in the blink of an eye.

The dreamlife of Angels (La Vie rêvée des anges) is a story of capitalistic and sexual exploitation, rage, rebellion, and the search for meaning in everyday things.

Frank, intimate, touching, with an emotional immediacy that is killing.

This slow-moving film would have been a sleeper-literally -- were it not for leads Bouchez and Régnier.

It's so graceful and intelligent and complicated in its depiction of human interaction that it takes the notion of a remarkably assured directorial debut to a new level.
