Our take

In what is, in essence, his vampire movie, Alain Resnais waxes theological about a love so selfless that it would waltz right into death’s arms. Starring alongside a captivating Fanny Ardant, Sabine Azéma is the fanatical devotee of the shadow realm, cloaked in black and ravished under red light.
