在这部细微动作剧情片中,象前卫实验默片一样迷人，象传记记录一样真实有力。这部参差着虚构与纪实的影片，是对自我的壁垒里懦弱人性的一种颂赞。全篇让人焦虑的旅程通往了疯狂，那种对万象的孤闭时种种专横而复杂的短暂感受，使人有一种朴素的深刻。
Yves is the main character of this film. In 1950, he was considered as incurable. The only solution for him seemed to lie in an endless stay in a mental institution. Fernand Deligny who has always shown distrust for arbitrary decisions started to look after him. In 1962, Yves became the central character of a film shot for two years in the Cevennes. A film beautiful like a Murnau, Jacques Rivette.
