In Roger Ebert's 2000 review he said that while the original audience would have seen this film as an attack on others a modern audience would see it as an attack on itself. I feel like he means the audience when he says 'itself' but I think it's more accurate to say the film is an attack on itself. I found it smug and dated. The movie itself seemed bourgeois. It made me want to watch
The Third Generation or
The Madwoman of Chaillot instead.
