The movie tries to make Yves' decision into some kind of deep metaphysical statement, but actually it's just a tortured version of the old advice to live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse. Go to Full Review Steven Alan McGaw Texas Triangle/TXT 05/07/2023
[It's] consistently interesting... But this is essentially a two-character, two-location film, and the action simply drags. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 10/19/2005

10/13/2009 A very stylish, powerful, impressive black & white montage opening. The film, however, was way too stage (directing, acting) overall. See more Read all reviews
