Serge Daney Cahiers du Cinéma Skolimowski has concealed the threads of his story even more deftly in The Departure than in his previous films . And so he proves that he can succeed at almost anything: for example, a commercial film. Oct 4, 2023 Full Review Penelope Houston The Spectator Much of this is spikily funny: the hero all sharp elbows and monomania, the filming (camerawork by Willy Kurant) as coolly rackety as Komeda's score.

william k Wildly exuberant, absurd, funny as well as silly and at times Nouvelle Vague-style comedy is fast-based, but at times quite enervating; of course, Jean-Pierre Léaud is, as always, a joy to watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A rather obnoxious performance from Leaud doesn't help this aimless French farce. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This must've been great back in the 60's, but now it's just unfortunately quite outdated and just plain weird.
