Audience Member This is a unique movie.I don't rate it higher because the story is senseless, without the beginning of any interest and to say it simply, it is uninteresting and tedious. BUT, in terms of camera work it is certainly one of the best movies ever made.And I mean in the top ten. The camera is wonderfully fluid, the texture of the image is perfect. I recommend that no film director ever touches a camera without watching this film. Another fantastic aspect of the film is the way the characters are constructed and the actors filmed. Instead of being a group which only exists because of the story that the author is telling, they are individuals with their problems and they are only reunited by chance. It gives a touch more than realistic to the film, it makes it real. Unfortunately, it has been shot in 1968, and the director has heavily been influenced by the New Wave, so instead of telling his own story, he used the usual Truffaut-Godard crap (a film inside the film, violent death, the state is bad because it is the state). More than any film I've seen recently Reenactment makes me think that life is unfair. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
