The threat is too ill-defined to give the paranoia any weight. It has the effect of making everyone seem self-involved and a little silly.

Interesting affair that, in most cases, you will either love for it's inconsistent plot structure or hate for the very same reason. The atmosphere Rivette creates quite fascinating, but it ends up tripping itself due to the lack of structure.

A very odd and indeed disconcerting blend of political paranoia, existential angst, romantic entanglement, theatrical allusion, cinematic inventiveness and urban nightmare. Much like life.

This is what Truffaut would have made if he had the playfulness of Antonioni. It was kind of interesting at first until I realized what a boring character Anne was. There was still some great dialogue and editing, but it was few and far between. Towards the end I was checking the time quite often.

contains most of rivette's usual concerns, those of plays and puzzles, and spices it up with a dash of political conspiracy. i didn't enjoy this as much as his others though. it wasn't very coherent, it definitely felt like a debut feature, and its aesthetic was closer to chabrol than later rivette, with an uninteresting modernist soundtrack backing bland black-and-white photography. not bad, but even though rivette is my favourite cahiers critic, his debut is the least good of the lot.
