All seems beautiful in the case of this film - from intentions to cast, from Greek locations to the rooms. Not so inspired is the result.
A non-lineary story, romance and politics, historical/ literary references, Romy Schneider in her late shining , Philippe Noiret and, for both , the memory of Le Vieux Fusil , Victor Lanoux in the role of revolutionary and lover and the bizarre rhytmus of story, strange use of this promissing pieces of a great adaptation.
It seems no direction about this too good intentionned movie. And this sin defines, unfortunately, it. An air of fatigue seems define the film , each character seeming reduced at himself and the dialogue of Jorge Semprun seeming only a shield against time and the other.
