• French director Michel Deville has managed to preserve the work's great virtues--the intimacy, discretion, grace, and humor with which it speaks of both irredeemable disaster and the taste for life that survives it.

• Like the work of an expert tailor, it's done with unobtrusive skill, essential warmth and seamless grace.

• The gently told comedy-drama is more colorful than you'd expect, using wry humor and lively music to keep sentimentality at bay.
