The film's slow, stately pace and the quiet way in which it makes its points give it the aura of a neoclassical dream, a fading vision of the virtue of gentility.

[Rohmer] opting, in his colour scheme, sets and camerawork, for a style that hovers between formalism and realism, and so further distances the viewer from the characters.

It's a dazzling testament to the civilizing effects of several different arts, witty, joyous and so beautiful.

Top Critic A fascinating and sympathetic portrait of an abused woman is given life and depth by Rohmer's eloquent direction.
