Although this film undoubtedly does a great job in recreating an era in its outdoor locales, what really stood out for me was Pialat's mastery at creating intimate and spontaneous moments in the indoor environment. Whether its a dining table in a country house or a palatial study of the noblesse, the sincerity of human interactions dissolves the artificial barrier of language, culture and time period. In this aspect, Pialat rivals the best of Ozu and Shimizu in this film.
