“It’s a fairly unwieldy dramatic construction […]. The camerawork is handled with flair throughout, and Lelouch’s affection for song, dance, and their practitioners is patently deep. Between the narrative leaps, the multiple roles, and its sheer length, Les Uns et les Autres doesn’t lend itself to a casual viewing.” Jay S. Steinberg: Bolero. (Memento vom 1.
