A very good film, but the resemblance to the films of Rohmer is a constant reminder of the sensitivity and confidence with which Rohmer understands and depicts human relations. It is as though this film were therefore an expression of a loss of human understanding (for both the director and his characters) which has taken place in the gap between Rohmer's generation and that of Desplechin, testament to what Bernard Stiegler calls the loss of savoir vivre.
