      Audience Member Yes, I did sympathise with handsome Simon. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Piccoli et Piccolo, Michel et Ottavia, sont les acteurs principaux de ce film assez poussif de Sautet qui n'est ni une chronique bourgeoise, ni un policier. Reste un face à face Piccoli / Schneider de 5' qui sauve le film du naufrage boueux. Bof. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Un impressionant et sombre portrait de la société française de cette époque. Piccoli est vraiment génial! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Film magnifique, tout en subtilite et douceur. Des acteurs sublimes et une apparition dechirante de Romy Schneider. La collaboration Sautet / Piccoli fait des merveilles. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Je ragarde ce film une fois tous les 6 mois depuis des années Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
