	Media	Author	Review
		Guy Lodge Variety	"Jules Dassin caught only part of the book’s magic in his 1970 adaptation; now, Eric Barbier’s long, sometimes lively, sometimes lumbering version isn’t really an improvement."
		Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"This tastefully appointed new version lacks the touch of crazy creation that would have made it feel more of a piece with its subject"
