Legendary French master Alain Resnais (Hiroshima, Mon Amour) is never been shy to break the rules that were either hits or misses but always with interesting results. He brilliantly brings the theories of human nature to screen with this film where narrative and documentary mix seamlessly as he mixes behavioral theorist Henri Laborit with fictional characters to demonstrate his point on how we function in the society. The film grabs you from the first minute till the last where everything makes perfect sense yet hard to describe. A true masterpiece that has not lost one bit of its sheer power with wonderful performances all around, specially Gérard Depardieu. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
