i think i read somewhere that alain resnais and alan ayckbourne be friend and resnais do have an affinity with ayckbourne work and witness smoking or no smoking and now coeurs . severl old hand turn up yet again and indeed if resnais can be say to have a repertory company it would certainly include his long time wife sabine azema and pierre arditi and lambert wilson and andre dussollier and all present and correct here along with first timer isabelle carre with laura morante complete the sextet . ala and none of the six be really happy and hardly even content while the bible reading azema possibly come close and smile a she clean up after unseen invalid claude rich even clean herself up when he throw food over her while isabelle carre be a little young to be the sister of andre dussollier but give her loveliness there no real reason for her to pursue true love in the lonelyhearts column . all six actor shine and resnais have opt to mark the scene change with fall snowflake symbolise a permanent lack of warmth in all six life . verdict represent heart be trump .
