I have, on occasion, praised Blier and probably I will do so again but not, I fear, this time. The box talks a good game throwing the names of Annie Girardot and Jean-Louis Trintignant around cavalierly, the implication clearly being they are featured players whereas in fact they merely provide cameos and arrive far too late to save what is at best an indulgence. True, Depardieu is on hand earlier and he is never bad despite being saddled with inept characterisation/dialogue etc. Charlotte Gainsbourg is never going to register on my personal radar but that's my problem not hers and she is in good company with the likes of Ludo Sagnier and Vanessa Paradis. Essentially what we have here is the sort of images we MIGHT see if we were able to see instead of just listen to a sea shell.
