Review
Avant-garde Polish filmmaker Andrzej Zulawski (one-time assistant to the great Andrzej
Wajda) directed this unconventional romantic drama, which seems to lie somewhere between
a cinematic joke (possibly a pompous deconstruction of the familiar French melodrama)
and a wildly O.T.T. self-indulgent experiment in cinematographic style. The ridiculously
unconvincing performances from the two lead actors – Jacques Dutronc and Sophie Marceau
at their worst – certainly do not help matters,
neither does the incoherent marauding mess that masquerades as a narrative. However,
it’s Zulawski’s absurd, overly self-conscious theatricality that is most off-putting,
making this a hollow, painfully laboured and thoroughly unwatchable piece of misguided
artistic nonsense.
