French cinema has also suffered from a nouveau roman complex. "The typical French film of the '80s and '90s had a bunch of people sitting at lunch and disagreeing with each other," quips Marc Levy, one of France's best-selling novelists. (His Et si c'Etait Vrai... , published in English as If Only It Were True, became the 2005 Hollywood film Just Like Heaven starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo.)

Epstein’s modes of expressing his inexplicable anguish over love, age, and the idea of his lover grew increasingly complex. And Scanlan’s directorial decisions—along with John R. Malinowski’s work as scenic environment and lighting designer—impressively reflected this increasing complexity.
