Reviews in German: "Gérard Depardieu stars as a man who returns to Paris 10 years after having supposedly been killed in a Napolenonic war, to reclaim his wife and social position. But the question of is he or isn't he is secondary to the other issues explored in this slow-moving yet hauntingly beautiful film." JW **** The Star March 13, 1996

"Gifted cinematographer Yves Angelo has turned Balzac's novella into an equisite movie. Gerard Depardieu, his face a seismograph of buried emotion, is the supposedly dead Napolenonic cavalry officer returning to Paris in 1817 to reclame his name and fortune. The film contrasts the permanence of material things with the transcience of human beings, and shows the proximity of honour, glory and death." PF in Mail & Guardian March 15, 1996

"Der Bösewicht des Films ist die Gräfin, doch sie ist alles andere als eine eindimensionale Schurkin. Sie ist eine Frau voll panischer Angst. Sie ist die verzweifelteste Person in diesem Film, ein Mensch, der alles hat und fürchtet, alles zu verlieren." (San Francisco Chronicle)
