This is a nice piece of period drama. Its slow but the plot is intriguing. It certainly focuses on the more upper class sides of French society, including some pretty big names, primarily Trotsky. Its a throwback to the first half of the 1900s I suppose. There are some nice landscape shots and it kept my interesy for the most part. Its a little meandering but relatively easy watch I suppose, if you can manage the subtitles (its in French). Its a good piece of escapism I suppose.

Em honra do centenário de François Périer filme #2. Sem querer vi dois filmes seguidos com intrincados roteiros políticos de Jorge Semprún, primeiro Z, depois este que se não chega à grandiosidade do filme de Costa-Gavras, tampouco faz feio. WEBRip no MakingOff

A fun and stylish conman story. While the fractured timeline feels unnecessary it's still easy to follow and provides a structure to the characters and story.

A story maybe a little bit complicated, because it alternates between past, present and future, and we wonder what comes to make Trotsky in this story, despite an attempt of explanation towards the end of the film. But it's also a nice reconstitution of 1930's, with an impeccable Belmondo, like the supporting cast : Charles Boyer, François Périer, Michael Lonsdale, etc... and even a short appearance of a young and still unknown Gérard Depardieu.
