A very sobering one as it plays into Ronet's sense of uncertainty he wonders if he can handle the responsibility of having a family.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-89495773129755958922015-03-20T15:11:41.638-07:002015-03-20T15:11:41.638-07:00I remember the film as bleak and as you said with ...I remember the film as bleak and as you said with a tremendous central performance. My favorite scene is when he goes to see his married friend, the conversations between the two old pals I found meaningful. This particular scene is also recreated in Oslo August 31st (2011), a Norwegian film that is a modern retelling of the story.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-46678340266157985852015-03-20T13:24:43.902-07:002015-03-20T13:24:43.902-07:00It is one of Malle's best films as well as ver...It is one of Malle's best films as well as very intriguing study into the world of depression.

I'll have to bump this back to the tip top, as it sounds incredible! I didn't know what it was about, but that it was Malle and starred Moreau, and that was enough for me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
