...secondary characters are no less puzzling than the girl, for many of them seem quite different every time they appear. None is developed fully enough so that the facets of his personality cohere; and since Polanski, a Pole, is directing in a language foreign to him, the English dialogue doesn't add much. (Catherine Deneuve, who plays the girl, and Yvette Furneaux, who plays her sister, are speaking in a foreign language too.)

Their major effort was the "Quatre petites Prieres de Sainte Francois d'Assise," by Francis Poulenc, and they sang this difficult work masterfully. The closest the Crimson came to English folksongs was Richard Dering's "Cease thy affections to avoid her reproving." Although the Princeton boy in front of me couldn't resist snickering at the lyrics, the song was charming...
