"The film is constructed through the vagaries of light, the lines of a road and the erotic availability of the actors. [...] At a given moment, everything is in the right place; it's the art of non-epiphany, nothing is hidden, so nothing is revealed, everything that is visible is perceived, felt and loved as such. Everything fits together.” Didier Péron, Libération, 9 October 2002.
