Tavernier shows us, in more ways than one, that le ciné ma de qualité lives on.

Top CriticThe best didacticism is one carried by a strong sense of humanism, and Bertrand Tavernier's oft-brilliant Safe Conduct ("Laissez-passer") wears its heart on its sleeve.
10/23/02
Unfolds as one of the most politically audacious films of recent decades from any country, but especially from France.
10/23/02
Top CriticWhatever one makes of its political edge, this is beautiful filmmaking from one of French cinema's master craftsmen.
10/21/02
Alternately frustrating and rewarding.
10/17/02
Crammed with incident, and bristles with passion and energy.

Top CriticFor devotees of French cinema, Safe Conduct is so rich with period minutiae it's like dying and going to celluloid heaven.
10/11/02
Top CriticSome episodes work, some don't.
10/11/02
Dense with characters and contains some thrilling moments.
10/10/02
One of the very best movies ever made about the life of moviemaking.
10/08/02
Top CriticAn intriguing look at the French film industry during the German occupation; its most delightful moments come when various characters express their quirky inner selves.
10/08/02
The heat of the moment prevails. It cooks Conduct in a low, smoky and inviting sizzle.
10/08/02
Top CriticRises and falls on the strength of its individual episodes. Mostly, it rises, though its extreme length ill suits its anecdotal structure (or perhaps vice versa).
10/07/02
At nearly three hours, the whole of Safe Conduct is less than the sum of its parts.
10/05/02
Safe Conduct, however ambitious and well-intentioned, fails to hit the entertainment bull's-eye.
10/02/02
Though it is by no means his best work, Laissez-Passer is a distinguished and distinctive effort by a bona-fide master, a fascinating film replete with rewards to be had by all willing to make the effort to reap them.
