Fascinating drama, similar in tone to Resnais' PROVIDENCE and no doubt with many echoes of LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD (unseen by me). Caine gives one of his best 70s performances (love him telling off Nelligan!) and Jackson is appropriately brittle as his adultress wife (or is she?) Berger also smooth and slimy in support. Witty screenplay and Losey's excellent direction can't fully compensate for the overly enigmatic tone (and puzzling ending) but the film itself remains hypnotic for the most part.
