08/02/2014 Yes, I did sympathise with handsome Simon. See more 10/09/2010 Piccoli et Piccolo, Michel et Ottavia, sont les acteurs principaux de ce film assez poussif de Sautet qui n'est ni une chronique bourgeoise, ni un policier. Reste un face à face Piccoli / Schneider de 5' qui sauve le film du naufrage boueux. Bof. See more 05/19/2010 Un impressionant et sombre portrait de la société française de cette époque. Piccoli est vraiment génial! See more 05/15/2009 Film magnifique, tout en subtilite et douceur. Des acteurs sublimes et une apparition dechirante de Romy Schneider. La collaboration Sautet / Piccoli fait des merveilles. See more 06/19/2008 Je ragarde ce film une fois tous les 6 mois depuis des années See more Read all reviews
