Film Review
This light romantic comedy has the allure and feel of New Wave cinema but appears pretty
inconsequential besides the works of the masters such as Truffaut and Godard.
The film alternates between youthful exuberance, passionate romance and dark film policier without being convincing or satisfying in either mode. Still, Marina Vlady is delightful as the compulsive liar who gets hoist by her own mendacious petard and the film makes a valid statement about the nature of human relationships, albeit in a tortuous and muddled way. © James Travers 2000 Write a review for this film...
