Critics Sentiment
Nicole reveals she and Klaus conspired against Jean
Jean attends parties and seduces his friend's wife
The film dramatically improves when Nicole's conspiracy is revealed, jumping from slow relationship drama to praised thriller territory.
Critics found the first half agonizingly slow and overlong, but praised the unpredictable twists and strong performances in the second half. The film redeems its sluggish opening with clever plot revelations and satisfying character work, particularly from Erika Blanc and Horst Frank.
