      Audience Member Elaborate intentional posturing abounds as a purposely unsolvable neo-noir mystery gets turned into a surrealistic journey capturing the very act of walking in circles (hence the title). Joe Dallesandro and Maria Schneider star with Jacques Rivette at the helm. Who else could create such a fascinatingly baffling mesh between coherence and lunacy out of what is, in simplest terms, an improvised mystery? If you think that sounds like an oxymoron, you're completely right. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member My husband hated this but I liked aspects of it. It may or may not help to know some of the background. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
