At first, he meets a man whom he knew during his time as a student in Europe in the days before World War II. Shortly afterward, he meets a beautiful young German woman (Julie Delpy), whom he accompanies on a journey to her home in Athens, Greece. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Only bearable for throwing out a number of alluring literary ideas, otherwise it's bogged down by an overload of symbolism.
-
Clint Morris, Film Threat
Highly entertaining, Incredibly moving
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
A mesmerizing interpretation of a Max Frisch novel about a globe-trotting engineer.
