A languid Oxford summer is the background to this self-assured treatment of Harold Pinter's screenplay. A calm veneer of civilization is laboriously peeled away after an undergraduate is killed in a car crash, setting the six central characters, (three men, two wives and a girl), at odds as they gradually tear each other to shreds.

Two soldiers return from Vietnam, one mentally scarred, the other physically. We flashback to their childhood and the fascination the slightly crazy one has with flying.

A highly acclaimed costume drama that proves slightly different from Rohmer's more contemporary work. Typical of French films set in the 19th Century it is an examination of the moral corruption and hypocrisy that formulated the mores of the time. Rohmer's direction adds sparkle as always.
