Through it all, Ozon supplies a sense of pathos that makes fun of its own soullessness, transforming a self-serious suicide note into an existential love letter.

You can feel the world closing in, which, I would venture, is exactly how Fassbinder wanted you to feel.
75
Very French and at times threatens to dissolve into a steamy sex farce.

The film does not offer an optimistic view of relationships.
63
As much a curiosity piece as anything else.
60
Mild as satire and completely unconvincing as tragicomedy.
50
The static, claustrophobic movie is very much a filmed play.
