Audience Member Maurice Pialat is known for making even the most grand cinematic ideas feel small and accidental. The meaning of his work embraces you after you've had time to digest what you've seen. This film was well received in its day. Sophie Marceau is solid and stunningly beautiful. And, Gerard Depardieu is just about at the end of his sex symbol days. All of this makes for some interesting moments in a film that never can decide if it wants us to equate police and criminals as one in the same or simply be an off-kilter love story. This is one the few Pialat films that left me cold. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Not exactly Gerard Depardieu's best film. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member 1/10. Proof that you can take Gerard Depardieu and Sophie Marceau and still make a movie that isn't worth watching. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Le reel au service du genre, ou l'inverse. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Peut-etre le film le moins personnel de Pialat, encore que : il subsiste dans cette histoire d'amour une trace de l'univers du cineaste, notamment dans le traitement du recit. Les images sont magnifiques, Depardieu aussi, mais je ne supporte pas Marceau et Anconina, meme si ici ils sont plus supportables que d'ordinaire, ils m'ont gache le film. Le scenario est assez brouillon aussi ; bref, je comprends que Pialat n'aimait pas ce film, meme s'il est loin d'etre honteux. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member i liked this but its not for everyone. a strange 80s french policier. almost anti-dramatic, completely without style and obvious excitement...Pialat seems to simply be interested in recreating the behavior and environment cops share with criminals and women, and he succeeds with great authenticity. depardieu's performance is fantastic, very natural and rough, almost effortless Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
