Sinekatalog’s take
Werner Schroeter's film of Ingeborg Bachmann's novel follows a Viennese writer torn between her lover and her husband-like companion. Isabelle Huppert is intense in a dreamy, fragmented and operatic psychological drama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
