Not as formally inventive as "Hiroshima Mon Amour" or "Last Year at Marienbad," "Stavisky..." remains essential Resnais viewing for its intricate, moving tale of a con artist whose scandal topples the French political order. As always, Belmondo's charm is effortless, inviting sympathy for a sociopath seeking love (much like Charles Foster Kane). The theme by Stephen Sondheim haunted me for days.

Is it just my perception, or does Stephen Sondheim's score for Alain Resnais' STAVISKY... (1974) sound very Ravelesque?

Not for everyone the film is powerful and interesting and features 2 great performances from Belmondo and Boyer
