Thomas V @TomVee Jul 15, 2026 Somewhere I read a description of this film as a farcical tragedy, which is something I don't have much experience with, but it's an apt descriptor. I could also see it as kind of an anti-melodrama, since the very fine actors and well written script bring more nuance to the characters. There are also no moral judgments here or clear moral lines, just a look at a messy, dysfunctional family having to live with their mistakes. It all holds up quite well until almost the end, when mom does get quite melodramatic, and for me, that's when the picture took a bit of a turn for the worse, albeit not to the extent of ruining it. Lastly, there is enough cinematic artistry to set this film apart from a mere filmed play. See more Jul 3, 2012 No me enganché de entrada, ni en el nudo ni al final. Los actores están bien elegidos, pero... me resultó muy teatro-genérico o teatro 'de oficio'. See more Sep 1, 2008 When jean Marais 35 tries to cover the part of Michel 22 it is hard to believe. Appart from that even if it doesn't compare in anything to "La Belle et la Bete", it's far more watchable than any of Cocteau surrealist pictures. See more Read all reviews
