Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The notoriously schmaltzy but still undeniably eye-catching film in which Aimée and Trintignant conduct an intense and often unhappy affair against an elegant, colourful background. Lelouch tricks it out with every elaborate cinematic effect he can beg, borrow or steal, ransacking both Welles and Godard for titillating devices which look good but never even begin to mesh with the subject matter (note in particular the 360 degree tracking shot at the end). In some ways the film's sheer zest and the talented cast might have won the day, were it not for Francis Lai's dreadfully corny and monotonous theme music.Author: DP

- Posted on Dec 04 2010 16:30 My reaction to the lovers and their story was pretty much "so what". However I have to say the film did not looked dated despite its 44 years. I did like Mr.LeLouch's visual style.
