02/06/2014 Très bon film avec de formidables acteurs dont Dewaere énorme. See more 08/12/2011 putain d acteur ce dewaere See more 06/26/2011 Il y en a qui n'ont pas la vie facile. See more 10/13/2010 Sautet fait deux films en un. Le retour difficile du fils prodigue mais pas prodige incarné par le grand Patrick Dewaere, puis on passe à une histoire d'amour avec une droguée qui cherche à s'en sortir... Toujours de grands acteurs mais des faiblesses scénaristiques évidentes. Correct sans plus. See more 05/17/2010 Vraiment un très bon film de C. Sautet sur la relation brisée entr un père et son fils. Brigitte Fossey se démarque nettement dans son rôle de droguée en voie de rédemption. See more 10/03/2009 Excellent French drama See more Read all reviews
