perhaps if i have realise that private fear in public place ( the english title for coeurs ) be the name of an alan ayckbourn play and i would have stay away and but the allure of a new movie from one of the great auteur of the twentieth century be too strong . the man who make hiroshima mon amour and lannee derniere a marienbad have not lose his ability to frustrate the viewer and this time with a series of sad parisian lock into loneliness and self defeating behaviour . the humour of the film be at the expense of these pathetic character and for whom it be hard to feel much sympathy and and their complusive and repetitive behaviour rapidly become irritate . have see coeurs and i can understand why renais recent output have have little or no distribution in the english speaking world the film be soulless and overlong and strictly for those who miss the day of the french new wave .
