 The merit of the film lies in the movement that seems to animate these characters, seems to disassemble them, only to return instead to an initial situation of stillness and immutability, as if nothing at the end had happened.

 The director seems to adopt a moralistic tone towards the characters: they are losers from the start since they are bourgeois.
