Well, the sentimentalist in me would like to believe that they remained together, but the logical bent of my mind asserts that they didn't :)Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-43481568913337432052012-07-11T23:44:06.760+05:302012-07-11T23:44:06.760+05:30Couldn't have said it better, buddy.

In fact I'd love to read more about this film from that front as well.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-6028219138486776482012-06-25T09:29:06.357+05:302012-06-25T09:29:06.357+05:30"The circular narrative alternately shifted b..."The circular narrative alternately shifted between past and present, and between reality and dreams, with hypnotic monologues as accompaniment, thus making this beautifully scored and photographed tone poem an audacious demonstration of the techno-philosophical capabilities of cinema."<br /><br />Geez, Shubhajit you certainly do say it all here and most insightfully! There are some who consider the film as cinematically revolutionary as CITIZEN KANE, much for the specifications you document here in this excellent piece. In any event this is one of the most important films of the French New Wave.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
