Unbeliveable as a director can "tell us" a simple and commonplace story such a exquisite notion of time and place. Indeed, Claude Sautet, in my opinion , wrote his name in the Hall of Fame of The Greatest Directors of All Times, with this movie. The "décors" are simply splendid(!) given us the impression that we are "inside the scene", specially those photographed in the "parisiens cafés". Michel Serrault, in the role of M.Arnaud, transmit us all the metamorphosis produced in his soul, while performing his Job as a Judge, not failing to take into account the real situation: an old man versus a young woman...Likewise, Emmanuelle Béart stands out as the uncomplaining human being that lately wakes to the reality... Unlosable work of art for those who want to see through the often impenetrable disguises put on our faces in order to support the roughnesses of our lives... I vote:10/10.
