WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING ABOUT CHANGING TIMES

“Midway through 2006, the number of superb small films already suggests a banner movie year. And the best film so far opens this week: André Téchiné’s Changing Times…Téchiné’s mastery keeps the many story elements churning, and it’s always clear and emotive. No current filmmaker is more deft and incisive…To put it simply, Changing Times is an amazing film to look at: images keep moving and new characters keep appearing as relationships expand and complicate… The performances from Depardieu and Deneuve, both ample-bodied are astonishingly spontaneous and expressive…For audiences who are appreciative of art, politics and emotion, Changing Times has to be the film of the year.”
– Armond White, New York Press

“Changing Times marks the sixth onscreen collaboration between two of world cinema's most recognizable faces: Catherine Deneuve and Gérard Depardieu. Their presence alone will be enough to tempt many movie buffs into the theater and the actors don't disappoint…”
– Ethan Alter, Premiere

“With a fine ensemble cast, including those stalwarts of French cinema, Catherine Deneuve and Gerard Depardieu, and a fascinating setting in Tangiers, a city where change and time have proved a mixed blessing, Téchiné pulls together a provocative meditation on what changing times can do to relationships, cultures, cities and love itself.”
– Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter

In Changing Times, Mr. Téchiné, the great French director, is near the peak of his form…every scene is filled with light, music, activity and a sensuous appreciation of landscape.”
– Stephen Holden, The New York Times

“CRITIC’S PICK…a generous, atmospheric, and exceedingly well-acted drama.”
– New York Magazine

“3½ STARS…Long lost love brings together a couple drifting separately through a world of globalization, immigration, fundamentalism and sexual adventurism. Lyricism and realism, with just a soupçon of sentiment.”
– Newsday

“The two icons remain an extraordinary combination…Deneuve and Depardieu's screen chemistry gives an acute tension to their scenes together, making the outcome extremely moving.”
– Ed Scheid, Boxoffice Magazine
