Critic Reviews

You would imagine a film like this would be greeted with rapture in France, but no. The leading French film magazine, "Cahiers du Cinema," has long scorned the filmmakers of this older generation as makers of mere "quality," and interprets Tavernier's work as an attack on the New Wave generation which replaced them.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Superb -- Crammed with incident, and bristles with passion and energy. Tavernier treats his actors, every last one of them impressive, as an ensemble.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

Safe Conduct -- a rangy, irreverent, episodic odyssey through French filmmaking during the Occupation -- is one of the very best movies ever made about the life of moviemaking.Full Review

Michael Atkinson
Village Voice

This is one of those films that encapsulate most of its maker's key thoughts and feelings while also connecting us vividly to a fascinating past. No one who loves French film (or movies in general) should miss it.Full Review

Michael Wilmington
Chicago Tribune

The movie is full of juices that give it a healthy, pungent flow.Full Review
