Plot
Three lives are linked to the theories of a biologist.
Sinekatalog’s take
Alain Resnais's essay-comedy weaves three lives with a biologist's theories on behaviour. Witty, clever and cutting, with Gérard Depardieu among its subjects, it is a playful, intellectual look at instinct and ambition.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
