Title: A pretty film that hasn't aged well
Review: Alas, in the year 2001 this film does not appear to have aged very well. It is full of the type of moralizing and philosophizing that was so the rage -- especially in France -- in the '60s and '70s, which now seems hopelessly naive and irrelevant. Plot? Characterizations? Linear storyline? Who needs these when we're expounding on the Major Issues of Our Times!? Prettily filmed, with an attractive cast (most of whom don't get to do all that much), but ultimately a fine example of cinematic navel-gazing. I liked this film when it first came out -- but now, for the life of me, I couldn't tell you why.
Is the review positive or negative?
