Critics' reviews

"In this, his second feature, Mr. Carax lives up to his billing as 'the natural heir of Jean-Luc Godard,' showing a taste for underground types and milieus, an inventive eye and a tolerance for tedium. (...) the movie goes surrealistic, losing whatever crime-story tension has been built up."
