Description
"A man and a woman with biblical names (Elie and Jean-Baptiste) played by two Bressonian actors (Anne Wiazemsky and Thierry de Maublanc). Or the meeting of electroshock and overdose under the roofs of Paris. Between them, the poorly kept secret of a child: Swan, Swan-the-swan, sign of life, of following for two children of children. Swan is a bit of trembling film."
— Serge Daney, La guérison sévère, excerpt from the booklet.
