Critical reception[]
Time Out commended Raoul Coutard's camerawork, but dismissed the film as "Highfalutin nonsense";[5] whereas Derek Winnert found it "well-intentioned, weird, arty stuff in the style of the time. Director Tony Richardson turns it into a smart, interesting film that’s always intriguing even if it is not entirely a success."[6]
