The film is characterized by polished, subtle and profound dialogues. The reviews at the time were full of praise for the masterly and careful language. There is a lot of sharp humor hidden in the film, which only becomes apparent through careful listening. There is a lot of play with the language and some things are ambiguous, leaving room for interpretation of social allusions. The cast is excellent.
