What The Things of Life Is About
A man's car leaves the road, and the film keeps returning to the moment of impact while laying out, in pieces, the decisions of his life. Claude Sautet does not make the crash a source of suspense; it is announced from the start, and the subject is the small choices accumulated before it. Michel Piccoli plays a man neither good nor bad, simply undecided between two lives. The scenes with Romy Schneider are the warmest in it. The calm domestic realism of seventies French cinema is here at full strength.
