Claude Sarraute stands out among the film's delightful ensemble of elderly actors as Hermangarde's protective grandmother, who happens to prefer the pre-Revolution days of her anything-goes youth to the rising moralism of the Victorian era.
Sarraute and Simon published novels that were highly esteemed and discussed yet sold few copies; Butor had a major success with La Modification ()1957 but soon abandoned the novel for a striking, idiosyncratic poetic prose of limited appeal; Duras, whose inclusion in the nouveau roman was always problematics, developed a very personal fictional universe that retained some textual links to it but featured constructs of plot and character that reached out in new, singular, "Durassian" directions.
