	Media	Author	Review
		Richard Brody The New Yorker	"It’s a film in which emotional life and sensual delight are seen through the prism of sociology, psychology, and philosophical reflection."
		Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader	"Beautiful and disturbing (...) Provocative and lovely to look at, this is one of Varda's best and most interesting features"
		Andrew Chan Slant	"The power of Varda’s film is that it remains startling even in our savvy era, leaving us as uncertain and suspicious of its intentions as its first audiences must have been."
		David Pirie Time Out	"Sheer visual elegance and romantic splendour"
		Noel Murray AV Club	"[A] great film"
