Apr 12, 2021 Vehicle for late-period Romy Schneider to show off intense and over the top emotions; this late-period French New Wave film has great style at the expense of plausibility See more Jun 2, 2015 This film's title is actually translated as "The Most Important Thing: Love" has earned a valid place in French Film History for Romy Schneider's performance. The infamous and beautiful actress is so good here that it is sometimes feels like she is allowing more of a glimpse into her than her character. Add this to Klaus Kinski's odd but charismatic presence along with a youthful Jacques Dutronc and Andrzej ?u?awski presents a surprisingly examination of both an artist struggling to find her place in mid-1970's theatre scene to escape her abysmal cinematic opportunities and an obsessively compulsive tragic love triangle. It is all very dated, but still bears validity as film art. See more Jun 28, 2014 Certainly not for every taste. Many will be put-off by the hysterical theatrics. However, it one enjoys unbridled passionate filmmaking -- this film is an Art House treat. Romy Schneider is unforgettable. Her mere charisma is a major factor in this film's success. Jacques Dutronc gives a surprisingly uncharacteristic turn as the impotent husband. Klaus Kinski is allowed out of his cage and is fascinating to watch. An odd and captivating met-film. See more Jul 8, 2012 A lovely romance. Zulaswski's brilliance here is to take what is essentially a soap opera (and a pretty rich one at that) and transform it into something profoundly beautiful. The efforts of a great underdog cast, the manic cinematography of Ricardo Aronovich, and the heart-rending score of Georges Delerue all go a long way toward helping.

Kudos to the French! See more Sep 30, 2011 This film is amazing; the acting is phenomenal! See more Read all reviews
