Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A movie that wittily points to and sometimes upends its narrative.

fresh:
It may be a stretch to call the filmmaker a forgotten genius, but if nothing else, Le Grand Amour makes a case that Etaix was a fertile clown, overdue for a bow in the spotlight.

fresh:
Along the way, Etaix satirizes the marmoreal chill of the bourgeoisie, the small-town gossip mill, and, above all, the absurd yet agonized, blundering yet callous delusions of desire.
