(OK) One of the best Sautet, as simple as risking death in an automiivle accodente and evoquing loves in the way to the hospital. Romy is divine, Lea Massari just reacts.Great the dreamy secuence of the lunch with all the loves and the docotr and chauffers...

"20.5. The Things of Life päätyi katseluun 94-vuotiaana kuolleen Michel Piccolin muiston kunnioittamiseksi. Claude Sautet'n elokuva kertoo avioliittoonsa kyllästyneestä ja jotain uutta kaipaavasta miehestä, joka polttaa tupakkaa joka ikisessä kohtauksessaan. Edellisen loppuessa on aika sytyttää uusi. Korsteenimaista tupruttelua seuratessa katsoja miettii väkisinkin muutamaan otteeseen, miten ihmeessä pääosan esittäjä eli 94-vuotiaaksi asti."
